Monkey on My Back

woe is me

well I been dyin'

got to get that monkey off my back

the fortune teller looked into my eyeballs

the wrinkles on her face about to crack

she said you best believe it, you ain't goin' nowhere

unless you get that monkey off your back

well, I made believe the devil made me do it

I was the evil leader of the pack

you best believe I had it all and then I blew it

feedin' that fuckin' monkey on my back

ahh, if you put it in a spoon man I would boot it

some king whose mental house was just a shack

where do you draw the line

when all your friends are dyin'

got to get that monkey off your back

your crystal ball is where you chase the dragon

she said now bring me home his head inside a sack

but now you find your crystal balls are draggin'

got to get that monkey off your back
