Welcome To The Working Week Lyrics - No Fun At All

[Originally by Elvis Costello] 

Now that your picture's in the paper being rhythmically admired you can 

Have anyone that you have ever desired, 

all you gotta tell me now is why, why, why, why, welcome to the working week 

Oh, I know I don't thrill you, I hope I don't kill you, welcome to the working week 

You gotta do it till you're through it so you better get to it 

All of your family had to kill to survive 

And they're still waiting for their big day to arrivebut if they knew how I felt 

They'd bury me alive 

Welcome to the working week 

Oh, I know I don't thrill you, I hope I don't kill you, welcome to the working week 

You gotta do it till you're through it so you better get to it 

I hear you sayin "hey, the city's alright" when you only read about it in books 

Spend all your money gettin' so convinced that you never even bother to look 

Sometimes I wonder if we're living in the same land 

Why'd you wanna be my friend when I 

Feel like a juggler running 

Out of hands? 

Welcome to the working week [x2]
