Lyrics
Hump On Your Back
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't need no, I don't need no slack
Don't you do it, it'll stop you in your tracks
You might think it's clever, not enough forever
But a monkey on your back
Ain't no future, the late night ain't the way
If you got problems, face them now today
Cos there ain't no use in hidin', but you'll watch your girlfriends dyin'
The monkey makes you pay
Tell'em
You might think I ain't got no place to preach
But paradise is right there in your reach
But I'm here to tell ya, heroin's gonna kill ya
The monkey's just a leech
