Monkey Town
Not very many places
Leave one struck with wonder
Humbled by a thunderous majesty
But when things get abrasive
Right around each corner
You start to fear that's not where you should be
Perhaps or simply maybe
Everyone deserves their
One fair chance to make good on their dreams
A raven flying steady
Locks into a divebomb
Serving as a warning, so it seems
It's hard to go embrace this
Downward-spiraling moment
As simple inevitability
Seeking validation
To ease a fierce frustration
For what has now been lost to anarchy
Where've you gone incandescent dream
How've you lost so much clarity
What's the cost of your vanity
Why've you become this monkey town
How'd you turn it all upside down
No one wants to fear they could get pummeled to the ground
And some things just don't make a sound
It's now off to the races
And every rat will know it's
Better off just sharpening its teeth
There's abandoned faces
Running out of spaces
But this is still their home, or so it seems
It's hard to not go crazy
Everything we worked for
Lost and stripped away so violently
What's a home where you can't live in peace
A war zone of dysfunctionality
Nine million souls caught in insanity
Oh, how'd you become this monkey town
You had to turn it all upside down
There may soon come a day when no one's left to stick around
Don't go losing what you found
Don't take me home to monkey town
(Take me home)
Don't take me home to monkey town
(Take me home)
Don't take me home to monkey town
(Take me home)
Don't take me home to monkey town
(Take me home)
Leave one struck with wonder
Humbled by a thunderous majesty
But when things get abrasive
Right around each corner
You start to fear that's not where you should be
Perhaps or simply maybe
Everyone deserves their
One fair chance to make good on their dreams
A raven flying steady
Locks into a divebomb
Serving as a warning, so it seems
It's hard to go embrace this
Downward-spiraling moment
As simple inevitability
Seeking validation
To ease a fierce frustration
For what has now been lost to anarchy
Where've you gone incandescent dream
How've you lost so much clarity
What's the cost of your vanity
Why've you become this monkey town
How'd you turn it all upside down
No one wants to fear they could get pummeled to the ground
And some things just don't make a sound
It's now off to the races
And every rat will know it's
Better off just sharpening its teeth
There's abandoned faces
Running out of spaces
But this is still their home, or so it seems
It's hard to not go crazy
Everything we worked for
Lost and stripped away so violently
What's a home where you can't live in peace
A war zone of dysfunctionality
Nine million souls caught in insanity
Oh, how'd you become this monkey town
You had to turn it all upside down
There may soon come a day when no one's left to stick around
Don't go losing what you found
Don't take me home to monkey town
(Take me home)
Don't take me home to monkey town
(Take me home)
Don't take me home to monkey town
(Take me home)
Don't take me home to monkey town
(Take me home)
