lyrics

Was born and hatched on a Friday near the end of the summer
On the Sunny side part of the street
Nothing more nothing less always flew under radar
No surprises always been so discreet
And I rang my wedding bell and I built my picket fence
And I drove a modest car and always used common sense
Everyday I went to work to pay my credit card
Now I'm standing here, how can it be so hard

Monday Tuesday money maker Saturday Sunday Hallelujah

One day to the next, take the test, he's a model citizen
Somehow be the best, why confess, she's a model citizen
Stand up and deny, it's your right, be a model citizen
Fake it with a smile, you'll be fine, we're all model citizens

With a candy lemon drop life it's holidays at the Hilton
For I've never had a worry at all
Two sugar-coated kids and a wife of a big politician
A perfect picture hung on the wall
Well I just shut my mouth as a built my bank account
And Ask for truth to see confidentiality
A runner in the race, no room for second place
Why am I standing here, in my own disgrace

Monday Tuesday million maker here comes Sunday Hallelujah

One day to the next, take the test, he's a model citizen
Somehow be the best, why confess, she's a model citizen
Stand up and deny, it's your right, be a model citizen
Fake it with a smile, you'll be fine, we're all model citizens

How can you be a thief when you look as good as me
My looks will prove I'm innocent
The facts and evidence show incapability
Cuz I'm an upstanding citizen
I've never killed anyone, I've never hurt anything
I'm not the monster in your headline news
I've never spoken a lie, well maybe once or twice
I'm just a victim of my own true crime
Behind blue eyes

One day to the next, take the test, he's a model citizen
Somehow be the best, why confess, she's a model citizen
Stand up and deny, it's your right, be a model citizen
Fake it with a smile, you'll be fine, we're all model citizens

We're all model citizens
We're all model citizens
We're all model citizens
We're all model citizens
We're all model citizens
We're all model citizens
