[Verse 1 – gritty guitar riff, thumping bass]

[Verse 1 – gritty guitar riff, thumping bass] Alarm screams at dawn, skull pounding like hell Manic Monday grind, this ain't no rebel yell Snag my kicks, cash, that ripped-up jacket Off to the grind where the memos stack it [Pre-Chorus – tension coils in strings, snare cracks build] Spill my soul to the doc in the stiff white room Forms piled high, faking nonchalance in the gloom Admit the chaos, let a rogue tear slip For the green that props me up from the trip [Chorus – raw power chords crash, drums thunder] Manic Monday, med card chase Fork over dough for the state's cold grace They yank my plug, leave me raw and wrecked Weeks in limbo, trust their rusty deck [Verse 2 – palm-muted strings, bassline pulses hard] Wallet drained, mind weighed down like lead State's cut first before I crash to bed Locked from the haze that cuts through the noise Bureaucrats hold the keys to my poise [Pre-Chorus – guitars climb sharp, beats accelerate] Couch-bound stare at barren stash drawer Ticking off days till I'm whole once more Seconds crawl heavy, chains drag the floor Pray for that mail drop to settle the score [Chorus – harmonies stack, guitars blaze fierce] Manic Monday, med card grind Screw the tolls, screw their twisted bind They grip my calm in red-tape claws Force me to kneel just to claim what's laws [Bridge – acoustic bare, vocals scrape raw] They peddle "liberty" with a hefty tag Yearly tribute for my sanity rag The peace that stitches my frayed-up heart While they pocket laughs from the start [Solo – shredding leads wail, feedback howls wild] (Instrumental fury) [Final Chorus – band erupts full throttle] Manic Monday, med card war Fed up with begging at freedom's door Battle scarred, another round survived Till the wheel spins back, and I'm revived [Outro – echoes fade on strings, drums whisper out] Dawn cracks open, day's already beat Manic Monday fades, but the fight's on repeat
