Sunday, Oh Sunday....

I need to tell you something
Sunday is so boring, I can't take it anymore
To sit around and do nothing
Then roll on the couch, no energy to explore

The same air that reminds me tomorrow's work will arrive
And on my skin, I don't want the sun

For crashes all over that world 
No more anger .. no abuse
