Friday Feeling

entry picture

I have got that Friday feeling
My head man is reeling
It's Friday thank the lord
Join the party climb on board
Happiness I hope you find
I'm in a Friday state of mind

Another week of the daily grind
No satisfaction do I find
Working to live a dystopian existence
To survive you gotta have persistence 
Not much reward taxed to death
Exhausted can hardly catch my breath

Hit the road in the early morn
Traffic chaos is the norm
Bumper to bumper you crawl along
The radio playing the same old song
Tears on my window of pouring rain
My life is so fucking mundane

Another day another deadline 
Targets to hit all the time
Like a hamster on a treadmill
The mindless boring hours to fill
Sometimes I want to scream and shout
I am climbing the walls no way out

I have got that Friday feeling
Peel me off the ceiling 
The weekend is calling my name
The job I quit never be the same
I am gonna get completely wasted
Best drink that I ever tasted

I have got that Friday feeling 
On the road to oblivion I am reeling
The weekend is going to save my soul
It will awaken my inner rock n roll 
Off my head is a happy place I find
I'm in a Friday state of mind
