Another week; another nine to five, for five more days;
A cycle I can't cycle out from under, while it pays --
And at its end, there shall descend another job to do,
As in the weekend past, and probably the future, too.

I long for some respite, but I'm afraid I'm out of luck:
As long as man needs money, man will have to chase the buck.
As long as he is chasing it, he can't do other things,
And since he can't, he can't avoid the work the weekend brings.
