Hard Monkeys
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.
Got no monkey on my back
And I'm never gonna crack
'Cause it's a good life
Too good to lose
But it's a hard world
With the junkie blues
Got no street car called Desire
And I'll never light the fire
'Cause it's a good life
Too good to lose
But it's a hard world
With the junkie blues
