Lyrics of 'The Monkey Speaks His Mind' by 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 but 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

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 screamin'
"Faster, harder, faster, harder, faster"
Oh and man they'll break your spine
Every time your 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

My people are you with me sing…
VIVA LA REVOLUTION!
