Hey, my name is Jim, I fought in Vietnam
My life's a bargain basement, all the good shit's gone
I just can't hold a job. Where did I go wrong?
I'm sleeping in my car; my dreams moved on
My name is Billy Jean, my love is bought and sold
I'm only sixteen, I feel a hundred years old
My foster daddy went and took my innocence away
The street life ain't much better but at least I'm getting paid
Tuesday just might go my way
It can't get worse than yesterday
Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind
But somehow I'll survive
Hey, man, I'm alive
As long as I can breathe, as long as I can fight
Hey, man, I know I'll get by
When I wanna die
I pick up all the pieces and what's left of my pride
I'm feeling like a Monday, but I wish I were a Saturday night
I can't say my name, my life is on the line
They say that I'm to blame, that I'm guilty of a crime
I wish that I could be in another time and place
With someone else's soul and someone else's face
This world ain't so cut and dry, but I can't 'why?' wrong or right
I ain't here to justify what I gotta do to survive
Hey, man, I'm alive
As long as I can breathe, as long as I can fight
Hey, man, I know I'll get by
When I wanna die
I pick up all the pieces and what's left of my pride
I'm feeling like a Monday, but I wish I were a Saturday night
I'm feeling like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
Tuesday just might go my way
It can't get worse than yesterday
Thursdays, Fridays ain't been kind
Somehow I'll survive
Hey, man, I'm alive
As long as I can breathe, as long as I can fight
Hey, man, I know I'll get by
When I wanna die
I pick up all the pieces and what's left of my pride
I'm feeling like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
I'm feeling like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
I'm feeling like a Monday, but someday I'll be Saturday night
