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
Oh, where did I go wrong
Been sleepin' in my car
My dream's 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
Street life ain't much better
But at least I'm gettin' paid
Tuesday might just go my way
Can't get worse than yesterday
Thursday, Fridays ain't been kind
But somehow I 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 feelin' like a Monday
But someday I'll be Saturday night
I'm feelin' like a Monday
But someday I'll be 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
Black and white, 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 feelin' like a Monday
But someday I'll be Saturday night
I'm feelin' like a Monday
But someday I'll be Saturday night
Tuesday might just go my way
Can't get worse than yesterday
Thursday, Fridays ain't been kind
But somehow I 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 feelin' like a Monday
But someday I'll be Saturday night
I'm feelin' like a Monday
But someday I'll be Saturday night
And what's left of my pride
I'm feelin' like a Monday
But I wish I were a Saturday night
I'm feelin like a Monday
But I wish I were a Saturday night
I'm feelin' like a Monday
But someday I'll be Saturday night
