Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I think it's pretty strange
Watching the passers-by
Crawling all over one another
Trying to get ahead in life
[Verse 2]
Monday, you cough, Tuesday, you cry
Wednesday, in bed, what if you die?
[Verse 3]
You say that I'm insane
I say you're probably right
We all got something important to say
But talking's a waste of time
[Verse 4]
Monday, you cough, Tuesday, you cry
Wednesday, in bed, what if you die?
[Verse 5]
Cry, baby cry
Kick, scream, fight, hold on with all your might
You're gonna die, die
Open up your eyes or life will pass you by
[Verse 6]
Don't you think it's pretty strange?
All got something to hide
House in the desert, top of a mountain
Lost in a deep sea dive
[Verse 7]
Monday, you cough, Tuesday, you cry
Wednesday, in bed, Thursday, you die?
[Verse 8]
Cry, baby cry
Kick, scream, fight, hold on with all your might
You're gonna die, die
Open up your eyes or life will pass you by
[Verse 9]
Without love, without love
Nothing else will ever be enough
[Verse 10]
Cry, baby cry
Like it or not, like it or not
It's a matter of time
Cry, baby cry
Like it or not, like it or not
It's a matter of time
