lyrics
Never has a man been so down and got up from the bottom to achieve his crown
I’ve been round and round with my prejudices
Putting people down and saying they’re the clown
When in fact its me that is the fool thinking I’m so cool fool I never even graduated high school
Kill the monkey
Kill the monkey on your back
Kill the monkey
Get your life back on the track
If you keep doing what you been doing
Your going to keep getting what you been getting
If you keep feeling what you been feeling
Your going to keep getting what you been getting
If you keep thinking what you been thinking
Your going to keep getting what you been getting
If you keep giving what you bee giving
Your going to keep getting what you been getting
Kill the monkey
Kill the monkey on your back
Kill the monkey
Get your life back on the track
I’ve been around and I’ve been to heaven
And this is what I’ve found here
In this old museum of lives that I’ve lived
You can’t deny yourself look fear in the eye
Go to the mountains look up at the clouds
And tell me what you see soul kiss coming down
I’ve got some friends of mine who just sit and wait for life to pass them by oh my
Go to the river and wash yourself clean
Be a clean machine
Kill the monkey
Kill the monkey on your back
Kill the monkey
Get your life back on the track
I’ve been round and round with my prejudices
Putting people down and saying they’re the clown
When in fact its me that is the fool thinking I’m so cool fool I never even graduated high school
Kill the monkey
Kill the monkey on your back
Kill the monkey
Get your life back on the track
If you keep doing what you been doing
Your going to keep getting what you been getting
If you keep feeling what you been feeling
Your going to keep getting what you been getting
If you keep thinking what you been thinking
Your going to keep getting what you been getting
If you keep giving what you bee giving
Your going to keep getting what you been getting
Kill the monkey
Kill the monkey on your back
Kill the monkey
Get your life back on the track
I’ve been around and I’ve been to heaven
And this is what I’ve found here
In this old museum of lives that I’ve lived
You can’t deny yourself look fear in the eye
Go to the mountains look up at the clouds
And tell me what you see soul kiss coming down
I’ve got some friends of mine who just sit and wait for life to pass them by oh my
Go to the river and wash yourself clean
Be a clean machine
Kill the monkey
Kill the monkey on your back
Kill the monkey
Get your life back on the track
