(Chords and Lyrics)
© Project Freeman Music (30th July 1995 Gregorian)
Why do I spend my life Waiting for the weekend?
Why do I throw my self straight into the deep end?
Why do I go through life looking for a new friend?
And when I find a friend I'm looking for a new friend?
You spend your early days aiming higher and higher
And the further up you go the more that you desire
One day you reach a point far into the distance
Good god, you're looking back feeling your resistance
This place ain't how I thought it would be
I got here, but without me
There I am, back over there
Should I go back? Oh should I care?
Should I still aim higher and higher?
Should I wait till I retire?
Should I change the way I live?
Have I given all I've got to give?
Instrumental
All week you find yourself looking for a new way
A way to break away - roll on Friday
Voices echo in your head saying "get a bigger mortgage"
But in your bigger box life is in a shortage
Why do I spend my life Waiting for the weekend?
Why do I throw my self straight into the deep end?
Why do I go through life looking for a friend with a life to lend?
1995 Gregorian was a big 'waking up' year for me. It was when I really started to question everything about my working life and what I was doing in the 'rat race' of the corporate world. I was pretty good at it, but it was like acting, I wasn't being who I really was, wasn't being true to myself and my ethincs and values. A lot of my songs from around this time are to do with this subject
Nothing sums up the routine of life in the matrix and how it controls our behaviour better than the seven (slavin!) day week system with its week days (when we're in a weak daze!) and the 'weekend' (where we arrive weakened!). I was fully trapped in this system at the time and spent most of the weak daze longing for the weakened ha ha. But I was realising the craziness of this way of life and considering how I could change things.
(Later I created a new calendar based on 10 days without week days and weekends and that really helped to get out of the whole slavin day week thing)
