Lyrics - Monkey On A Stick
| Fifty times obey their rules Respect the teachings of our schools Just like that monkey on a stick It's their command that makes us tick That's why I'll always play the fool |
|
| Histrionics leave me cold The old equations left unsolved To match a static line of thought Equals nil on my report How the geography unfolds |
|
| And when I'm down, I'm dreaming The efforts high, on scheming To shoot into the light... |
|
| So I left the flock to graze To join the queue that haunts our days Another number on a sheet Thrown upon a wasted heap How the mighty chosen fall |
|
| The eye of chance, it glances I lie in wait for chances To move into my sight... |
|
| Have no pity for us please We will survive we have the need Just like that monkey on a stick It's their command that makes us tick Hail the hearts of those who bleed |
|
| And when I'm down, I'm dreaming The efforts high, on scheming To shoot into the light... |
