The clock goes round and round   And I get so tired of this old town   But I still hang around though I know that there's nothing to do   Seems every monday morning   I'm late for work, I get another warning   I don't think I'd stay around here if it wasn't for you      All the friends I had at school   Went their separate ways   Some I don't miss, some I do   But when I see them we've got nothing to say   Every weekday goes so slow   Weekends go too fast   Must make up my mind to go   Before another year goes past      The clock goes round and round   And I get so tired of this old town   But I still hang around though I know that there's nothing to do   Seems every monday morning   I'm late for work, I get another warning   And I don't think I'd stay around here if it wasn't for you      Same old faces every night   Every day it rains   Repetition drives me crazy   I just can't stand it all over again      The clock goes round and round   And I get so tired of this old town   But I still hang around though I know that there's nothing to do      I'm saving my cash to get out of here   You can come too   You don't get me down like the others do      Seems to me I wake up bored   Seven days a week   I need a chance to speak my mind   Before I've got no mind to speak   Can't believe the friends I've seen   Think they're doing fine   It's not enough for me   And I know that I'm just wasting time      Because the clock goes round and round   And I get so tired of this old town   But I still hang around though I know that there's nothing to do   Seems every monday morning   I'm late for work, I get another warning   I don't think I'd stay around here if it wasn't for you
