Monday Blues: End of the Day


 There's no way to avoid the Monday, sooner or later it catches up to you. No matter how hard you pedal against the headwind, it catches up to you. No matter how adept you are at using that tailwind, it catches up to you.

"Yeah, this one's for the workers who toil night and day
By hand and by brain to earn your pay
Who for centuries long past for no more than your bread
Have bled for your countries and counted your dead

In the factories and mills, the shipyards and mines
We've often been told to keep up with the times
For our skills are not needed, they've streamlined the job
And with sliderule and stopwatch our pride they have robbed

We're the first one's to starve, we're the first ones to die
The first ones in line for that pie in the sky
And we're always the last when the cream is shared out
For the workers is working when the fat cat's about..."
(Pickford)

Well, at least, at the end of the day, there is some of this to look forward to:
