Story behind the song

I wrote it while I was working in a warehouse on the 7:00 PM to 7:00 AM shift.

Lyrics

I walk in on a monday morning.
Put on my old work clothes.
Fight the raging deep inside.
Settle down to do my chores.

My body's doing one thing.
My mind's way off afar.
It's that Monday Morning Sickness.
How I wish I were a star.

Going about my daily routine,
I've learned so much to hate.
For a time when I can say'
"Stick it, Jack!", I just can't wait.

My body's doing one thing.
My mind's way off afar.
It's that Monday Morning Sickness.
How I wish I were a star.

Where along my life's path
Did it say this way you must go?
I've always thought I'd get a job
Where my mind would be allowed to grow.
Instead I grovel in the pits
Of someone's insanity
Begging for some act of God
To come and set me free.

I come home to the fruits
Of my torturous labor.
Seeing nothing in front of me,
No gains which I can savor.

My body's doing one thing.
My mind's way off afar.
It's that Monday Morning Sickness.
How I wish I were a star.
How I wish I were a star.
How I wish I were a star.
