It's Monday morning 
And I would kill for a chance to drive 
Get so far away from here with you my dear 
That I'll never leave your side 
Nobody knows the troubles I've seen 
In a van, on a soapbox for the world to see 

Miles away, and I wish this didn't mean so much to me 
To be a monument for the rest of them 
Miles away, and I wish this didn't mean so much to me 
To be a monument for the rest of them 

We're getting older 
I've started to fear for my life 
is this the way that it should be? 
this whole thing's riding on me 
it's been a long road so far 
with nowhere to turn 
There's no looking back from here 
no more dwelling on my fears 

Miles away, and I wish this didn't mean so much to me 
To be a monument for the rest of them 
Miles away, and I wish this didn't mean so much to me 
To be a monument for the rest of them 

Twenty bucks says you'll remember me 
When you see me on your TV screen 
It may be the first time 
But it won't be the last time 
[x3] 

And I'll scream 
so loud that everyone in this place 
Will hear every word I say 
'cause this is my time, this is my time to shine 
let nothing stand in our way 
[x2] 

Twenty bucks says you'll remember me 
When you see me on your TV screen 
It may be the first time 
But it won't be the last time
