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 its 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
