[Verse 1]
Walk inside the school on a Monday morning
Took my seat inside the room
There they stood there, by themselves
Yeah, full of themselves
The school bell rings, and I just wonder
Think about all that she has lost
Man, what a weird colored carpet

Aaaahh, aaaahh, aaaahh

[Chorus]
No, I never really thought that it'd come to this
But this dream don't flow to you anymore
And everybody's pushing the man downstairs, downstairs

[Verse 2]
Thinking 'bout the school year and I realize
Singing was long and hard to find
G.I. Joe's and Barney Fife
Lazy days of summer coming
Never thought it'd be so soon
Every day's the longest time

Aaaahh, aaaahh, aaaahh
[Chorus]
No, I never really thought that it'd come to this
But this dream don't flow to you anymore
And everybody's pushing the man downstairs, downstairs

Oh, yeah

[cello solo]

[Outro]
You never cared, You never cared
Monday morning
Monday morning (aahh) [x3]
Monday morning
