The Monkey Speaks His Mind - Lyrics - Barry Adamson

There's like a bad dream creepin' in the scene Stinkin' rotten dirty when I thought that I was clean And now there's no more heads up off the floor It's breakin' and it's entered and it's closer to the core You plant a love seed, now hatred only breed So now I'm gonna shove it in the place you used to feed So help me good God I'm nailed into this spot It's time to sink my teeth into everything I've got to save me Oh the cats are bustin' mine and screamin' "Faster, harder, faster, harder, faster" Oh the world seems so sublime Then what do you know The monkey speaks his mind How do ya like me now? The monkey speaks his mind Midnight a fist fulla dynamite I'm starin' at this crystal and the future isn't bright I'm packin' no zees and nightmares reek of cheese When everything was peachy and we only shot the breeze But sadly, no more there's rocks against the door It's beaten and it's battered and its head's an open sore I'm in my sick den and pounded by the yen Time to pass the thirty-eight and all begin again and then a Oh the bulls are bustin' mine and whackin' "Faster, harder, faster, harder, faster" Oh and man they'll break your spine Every time your monkey speaks his mind The monkey speaks his mind I gotta black skin with Satan kickin' in And underneath my hide he put an evil dorsal fin So see my blood need all swollen up with greed It takes a piece of nothin' 'til I'm finally relieved So give me no more I've said it all before It's suckin' on my juices like a plague I can't ignore Before my soul rot afraid I gotta cop I'm thinkin' 'bout the free list and I think I'd rather not Cos baby… Oh the chicks are bustin' mine and screamin' "Faster, harder, faster, harder, faster" Oh, this couch feels so sublime Then what do you know The monkey speaks his mind How do ya love me now? The monkey speaks his mind (x3) My people are you with me sing… VIVA LA REVOLUTION!
