Kill The Monkey

Walter Trout

I'm breathing Carbon Monoxide
Aluminium Chloride
Sky's fallin'down ain't nowhere, to hide
Looks like it's time for
The people to decide
They're tired of taking that political ride
'Cause the air is brown
The ocean's turning black
The whole wide world's got a
Monkey on it's back

Chemicals seeping into the ground
They're barbequing wienies at
The local meltdown
Politicians spending time trying to
Make a buck
Monkey's getting stronger 'til we all
Run out of luck
There's a hole in the sky but
You can't see the moon
We gotta kill the monkey and
Let's do it real soon
We got to kill the monkey
We got to kill the monkey
We got to kill the monkey
We got to kill the monkey

'Cause the air is brown
The ocean's turning black
Everybody everywhere's got a monkey
On it's back

Take a deep breath and you burn your nose
Take a walk on the beach
You get oil between your toes
Move into a house and you develop a lump
You find out they built it
On a toxic waste dump

Listen to me people while I
Tell you 'bout the trip
We got to get together
Just to break the monkey grip
You know he's getting stronger
Everyday that passes by
I'm gettin' mighty worried
Here's the reason why
He's out of control just like a runaway bus
We got to kill the monkey
Before the monkey kills us

We got to kill the monkey
We got to kill the monkey
We got to kill the monkey
We got to kill the monkey

'Cause the air is brown
The ocean's turning black
The whole wide world's got a
Monkey on it's back we got to kill it
We got to kill it before it kills us
Before it kills us we got to kill it
We got to kill the Monkey
Before the monkey kills us
