about

In this era when so many, of so many age groups have to take up jobs in the service industry/gig economy etc., the concept of a weekend is nebulous. Mondays become Saturdays, Wednesdays become Mondays- if one is lucky enough to get 2 days off in a row. That's also assuming one is lucky enough to get a job and survive. With this labor day release, this goes out to the workers, especially those having to work on Labor Day.

lyrics

TODAY IS MY FRIDAY
IT'S MY FRIDAY
TODAY IS MY FRIDAY

DOING ALL THE HOURS I CAN
IN THE SERVICE INDUSTRY
FACING THE GRIME
PUT IN MY TIME
I SHOULD BE A RETIREE
I SEE ALL THE FUSSING CUSTOMERS
FIGHTING ON A FRIDAY NIGHT
I'M WORKING FOR THEM
I'M THERE TO PRETEND
THAT EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT

TODAY IS MY FRIDAY
IT MIGHT BE A SUNDAY
IT'S NOT MY SUNDAY
IT'S MY FRIDAY
TODAY IS MY FRIDAY
IT'S MY FRIDAY
TODAY IS MY FRIDAY

CLOCKING IN AT 40 HOURS A WEEK
I DO IT ANYWAY I CAN
NOW IT'S ALL TURNED AROUND
AND THE POP MUSIC POUNDS
AND IT'S TOO MUCH FOR ME TO STAND

COME BACK ON A WEDNESDAY
THAT'S MY MONDAY
TUESDAY'S MY SUNDAY
AND SUNDAY'S MY FRIDAY

MY NIGHT IS MY DAY
AFTER WORKING AT NIGHT
THEN I JUST PLAY
WITH WHATEVER I MIGHT

YOU'RE WEEKEND'S BEHIND ME
MY THURSDAY'S YOUR SATURDAY
TUESDAY'S MY SUNDAY
AND SUNDAY'S MY FRIDAY

WHEN MONDAY'S A SATURDAY
AND WEDNESDAY'S A MONDAY
AND TUESDAY'S A SUNDAY
CAN'T WAIT FOR MY FRIDAY

TODAY IS MY FRIDAY
IT'S MY FRIDAY
TODAY IS MY FRIDAY
