Monday morning
Eighteen years of dawning
I say how long
I say how long

It was one dull morning
Woke the world with falling
I was so sad / So sad
They were so glad

I was of the feeling it was out of control
I had a crazy notion it was out of control

Boys and girls
They go to school and girls
They make children
Not this one

I was of the feeling it was out of control
I had a crazy notion it was out of control

I was of the feeling it was out of control
I had a crazy notion it was out of control

I'm out of control
I'm out of control

I fought fate
And blood at the garden gate
The man said childhood
It's in his childhood

Some day I'll die
The choice, will not be mine
Will it be too late
You can't fight fate

I was of the feeling it was out of control
I had a crazy notion it was out of control
