lyrics

I think I'm gonna get rid of my heart and get myself a brain
it's a little more complicated it's a whole let less pain
think I'll cut my dick off
send it to the Pope of Rome
inside my empty pants I'll stuff a dried up turkey bone
gotta get up
go to work on Monday

Think I'm gonna get rid of my tongue get myself a gun
ain't so good for talking but it helps to get things done
think I'll light my head on fire
kill an important man
get up
go to work on Monday

I think I'm gonna get rid of my heart and get myself a brain
it's a little more complicated it's a whole let less pain
pretty girl's hate-filled eyes
burn holes in my body
my guts spill on the sidewalk
scatter like a basket of snakes
gotta get up
go to work on Monday

I like Chinese food but this stuff smells like an animal's bum
and the carpet rodent scurries in to gnaw upon the crumbs
Assistant Manager type
says I don't wanna gripe
but I gotta get up
go to work on Monday

I think I'm gonna peel off my skin sell it to a robot
I will be no one and the robot will be me
my naked soul will run away
unfettered and free
and the robot
will go to work on Monday

I think I'm gonna get
think I'm gonna get
think I'm gonna get
think I'm gonna get rid of my
think I'm gonna get rid of my heart get myself a brain
it's a little more complicated
it's a whole lot less pain
