Brave Monday

If there's one thing that give this life definitive meaning
It's the day it ends
So let's take a beating with a grin
And a "fuck you buddy"
Cause I'd rather be good than happy
And that could've been the last time my hair's that long
Cause I'd love to look like more than clickbait
So mark your page and you can come back later
Brave Monday, time to learn
And here's what I learned
The first step to empirical probability
Is plugging all those numbers in
And time we're learning is time we're losing
Cause half the class we're troubleshooting
So tell me, how much more can you learn me?
Cause I've already held a girl I loved
And I've seen the mid-life Holy Ghost I'm bound to be
And not once did he need probability
Brave Monday coming down on me
Suck the soul straight through my teeth
It'd take a much stronger man than me
To spend these weeks waiting for that Friday light
To turn green
When you check your bank account
Which number gives you anxiety?
The tenth, the hundredth or ten-thousandth?
And you think you know about the world from what you read
In an Instagram thread
And this iPhone escape
It just gives me more to hate
In the land of puppets and parrots
So educate me higher
Cause my parents must've been liars
And you're an angel sent from God
Does God charge this much to ride his pearly bus?
Does he make you take core classes
In looking down on Sunday masses?
And not to brag, but I know my life
I know what I'd like to be
So grade my paper, pull your tweed sleeves down
Your schism's showing
And now they're putting metal spikes under bridges
Cause the homeless aren't people
They're just fucking pigeons
But you don't care in your leather swivel chair
You just keep on revolving
Brave Monday coming down on me
Suck the soul straight through my teeth
It'd take a much stronger man than me
To spend these weeks waiting for that Friday light
To turn green
But now I guess I can't recall the weekends
But I can recall some Tuesdays
Wednesdays, Thursdays, seeing you on the bus
Didn't take no bravery
