Well every trick in the book that you want to play

You better have a good answer to get your way

'Cause all the tricks that you pulled, and all the people you fooled

Well you started something



Well all the people that liked you just went on home

And when they could've stood by you, you stood alone

'Cause all the people you fooled and all the people you took

Well you started something



And all the signs in your head call out you're dead

But all the preachers went home and left you alone



And all the women that liked you, you fooled around

And when you got them inside you, you turned them down

'Cause all the women you fooled, and all the women you took

Well you started something



And all the lines in your head call out you're dead

And all the teachers went home and left you alone



Monkeys to the left, monkeys feeling right at home

Too many people, too many walking alone

And though they say they don't like it, you know they really don't mind

If you started something



But all the signs in your head, call out your dead

And all the teachers went home and left you alone
