you're working like a monkey

who's been training by a sick junkie

on a mission to get money

for a new suit and tie



to wear to a reception

where they envy your deception

and give complements and praises to the ones they despite



practicing your smile in the mirror all the while

try to cultivate the style of the bastards in power

i know what they're selling

cuz their nervous twitch is telling

you're coming off smelling like the pig of the hour



[repeat 2x.]

i got a lot of people telling me i'm outta my mind

and i don't know why



my brain was bleeding and my fingers were proceding

through a notebook i was keeping since the dawning of time

senses were coroaded

you know that i was loaded

you were dealing i was reeling

from the feeling and the madness was consealing

it's a siren song

people that i trusted would surley have me busted

if they ever had a clue what was really going on



[repeat 2x.]

i got a lot of people telling me i'm out of my mind

and i don't know why (i don't know why...let's go)
