LyricMeaning

Monotony
Eddie From Ohio

Well, we're making conversation

it's one-way communication

as you chat next to the side of me

And I'm working on a theory

that your thick barrage of queries

makes me wish for a lobotomy

And I have a deep suspicion

that your constant repetition

means you have no working memory

And I know I'm not much better

but I wish I were unfettered

cuz I need to have variety


and then somebody drives up the sidewalk

the car heads straight at me

I would only welcome a collision

if it just would break monotony

(just break monotony) monotony

(if it just would break monotony)


Well, we're glaring at the tv

and it's Regis and Kathy Lee

They're a foghorn and a smiley face

But today's a boring panel

so we go and switch the channel

and we're calling this a change of pace

well then there's Oprah & there's Liza

and Sally Jesse Raphael

who are crying and beating men

there's The View and good old Rosie

who are gossipy and nosy

and they laugh at the expense of men


and if someone would fire a missile

and aim it straight at me

I would only welcome detonation

if it just would break monotony

(just break monotony) monotony

(if it just would break monotony)


Well my job's a cracker-salter

I work hard and never falter

as they come down the conveyor line

Those crackers I do salt them

but my bosses I must fault them

'cause they never pay me overtime

And it's cracker after cracker

heading toward the cracker stacker

I take caffeine pills so I never tire

it's like sorting daily mail

where there's never room to fail

and one day I think I'll open fire.


Don't you know that it's the same job,

same home,

same red welcome mat

and then there is the treadmill rusting in

the space it's at

It's where I hang coat and hat

that's probably why I'm still fat


We eat only meat and taters

and we undertip our waiters

for desert we share a derby pie

then we rent a motion picture

and become a sofa fixture

I say the film's okay but I lie

our life seems to be modeled

after prose on shampoo bottles

where they say to lather, rinse and repeat

well we're latherin and rinsin

and for me it is convincin

that I'm getting much to tired to repeat


and oh thank goodness here comes the chorus

a varied melody

I would only welcome variation

if it just could break monotony

(let's break monotony) monotony

(if we just could break monotony)
