Shock the Monkey
Cover me
When I run
Cover me
Through the fire
Something not beyond the greed
Now I'm on my knees
Cover me
Die in peace
Hey, yeah, hey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know you gotta shock the monkey?
Hey, hey
Fox the fox
Rat all the rats
You can ape the ape (shock!)
I know about that
There is one thing you must be sure of
I can't take anymore
Dying
Don't you monkey with the monkey?
Hey, yeah, hey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know you've gotta shock the monkey?
Hey, hey
Shock the monkey
Hey, yeah, hey
Monkey, wheels keep turning
Monkey, something's burning
Monkey, don't like it but I guess I'm learning
Shock!
Shock!
Shock!
Watch the monkey get hurt, monkey (shock!)
Cover me
When I sleep
Cover me
When I breathe
You throw your pearls before the swine
Make the monkey the blind
Cover me
Die in peace
Hey, yeah, hey
Monkey, too much at stake
Monkey, ground beneath me shake
Monkey, and the news is breaking
Shock!
Shock!
Shock!
Shock!
When I run
Cover me
Through the fire
Something not beyond the greed
Now I'm on my knees
Cover me
Die in peace
Hey, yeah, hey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know you gotta shock the monkey?
Hey, hey
Fox the fox
Rat all the rats
You can ape the ape (shock!)
I know about that
There is one thing you must be sure of
I can't take anymore
Dying
Don't you monkey with the monkey?
Hey, yeah, hey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know you've gotta shock the monkey?
Hey, hey
Shock the monkey
Hey, yeah, hey
Monkey, wheels keep turning
Monkey, something's burning
Monkey, don't like it but I guess I'm learning
Shock!
Shock!
Shock!
Watch the monkey get hurt, monkey (shock!)
Cover me
When I sleep
Cover me
When I breathe
You throw your pearls before the swine
Make the monkey the blind
Cover me
Die in peace
Hey, yeah, hey
Monkey, too much at stake
Monkey, ground beneath me shake
Monkey, and the news is breaking
Shock!
Shock!
Shock!
Shock!
