lyrics

Not Three Monkeys

The night’s dropping so fast
As I survey all that has passed
Been smoking too many beers
But reality’s always near
Been eating too much TV
Had delusions I was free

It might sound absurd, but,
Do you know, do you know
What the deaf man heard?
What the deaf man heard?

Here my good man
You gotta understand
Ashes & sackcloth & blood & sand
There’s a poison river running through this land

When you’re at war inside
Just why won’t you swallow your pride
And tell me how can there be peace
The hostilities never cease
Take a leaf out of the book
Change your ways and how you look

Seems against the laws, but
Do you know, do you know
What the blind man saw

Fee fi fo thumb
Please don’t ask me how come
He’s staring at the eye of the gun
See the chamber’s full, the deed will soon be done

Been blown from here to there
You’re so down you don’t even care
You just get by on this and that
But nostalgia has made you fat
Look to where the rainbow ends
Look up to the sky my friend

You can’t raise the dead, but
Do you know, do you know, do you know
What the dumb man said

Bow to the King
Open your heart and sing
Life’s short or long as a piece of string
You know how small you are in the scheme of things
In the scheme of things

Beggars can’t be choosers
Winners are winners
Losers are losers
Got to choose who you wanna be
Beggars can’t be choosers
Winners are winners
Losers are losers
Got to choose who you wanna be
And not be one of the three monkeys
