Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's nothing to do, so you just stay in bed
Oh, poor thing
Why live in the world when you can live in your head?
[Verse 2]
When you can go out late from Monday
Till Saturday turns into Sunday
And now we're back here at Monday
So you can do it all over again
[PreChorus]
And you go ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
[Chorus]
I want a refund
I want a light
I want a reason
To make it through the night, all right
[Verse 3]
And so you finally left school
So now what are you going to do?
Now you're so grown up, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, so mature, oh
[Verse 4]
Going out late from Monday
Chuck up in the street on Sunday
You don't want to live till Monday
You're gonna do it all over again
[PreChorus]
And you go ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah
[Chorus]
I want a refund
I want a light
I want a reason for all this night after night, after night, after night, oh
Oh, I know that it's stupid
But I just can't seem to spend the night at home
'Cause my friends left town and I'm here all alone
[Bridge]
They say the past must die for the future to be born
In that case, die, die
Stomach in, chest out
On your marks, get set, go
[Refrain]
Now, now that you're free
What are you going to be?
Who are you going to see?
And where, where will you go?
And how will you know
You didn't get it all wrong?
[Refrain]
Is this the light of a new day dawning?
A future bright that you can walk in
No, it's just another Monday morning
Do it all over again, oh, baby
