On Monday morning get up
Can't wait till Friday, spend the evening down the pub
And then a gig on Saturday
It's quite expensive but you're going anyway

Next Monday morning you're depressed
Can't pay the ticket for next weekend's punkrock-fest
Another one in two weeks time

[Chorus:]
This ain't gonna work, this ain't gonna work
It never will
Too much too soon, too much too soon
It's overkill

There was a time with nothing to do
But it has changed, so many gigs for me and you
Sometimes I think it's overdone
If this goes wrong we'll soon be back to none
