Monkey Stuck On Your Back
April 2002

The clergy man cries to his sheep
Tells them to sow and to reap
He hides all his boys with his demon acts
With a monkey stuck on his back

The evil one wants you to pay
Don't you get caught in his ways
You want the white but he wants the black
And the monkey stuck on your back

Big brothers behind your locked door
He takes from the rich and the poor
He owns all the cash and a big Cadillac
And the monkey is stuck on his back

The man who hides in his cave
Prays to his god, "I'm so brave!"
Calls to his king who hides in Iraq
With a monkey stuck on his back

Well Wall Street is playin' their game
Lookin' for fortune and fame
Up and down in front then in back
With a monkey stuck on their back

Depression it hides in my soul
Slowly it's taking its toll
Here the deep laugh as it makes its attack
With the monkey stuck on my back

Computer man punches his keys
Bringing us all to our knees
Sellin' his goods designed by a hack
With a monkey's claw deep in my back

After John left us he came
Moon walkin' to fortune and fame
Yesterday's gone the future is black
With a monkey stuck on his back
