Monkey

Monkey
I've got a monkey on my back
It feels like he's been smoking crack
He wants to take my fucking jack
I wish he'd stop clawing at my back
Monkey get off my back
Monkey it's a full-on attack
Monkey get off my back
Monkey it's a monkey attack
They open at ten, They close at two
Five days a week on a skeleton crew
Now man, ain't that service
I get up at four, I go to bed at dawn
All night working my fingers to the bone
Now man, that's my life
I wanna be your monkey
I got a monkey on my back
Just wanna be your monkey
But I got a monkey on my back
I've been working all I can
Flippin' burgers, picking up soda cans
I let my bosses kick my ass
To make enough to pay my income tax
Monkey get off my back
Monkey it's a monkey attack
Monkey get off my back
Monkey it's a monkey attack
