Lyrics
Monkey 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.
You say the monkey is unclean
You say the monkey is obscene
I've seen the monkey and his deeds
I tell you brother, set him free
You paint it white, I'll paint it black
I'll be the monkey on your back
You claim the monkey made you fall
You claim the monkey shaved your balls
I dig the monkey and his scene
I met that mother in a dream
