Songtexte Kill the Monkey - Walter Trout

I breathe in carbon monoxide
Aluminum chloride
Sky fallin' down, ain't nowhere to hide
Look like it's time for the people to decide
They tired of takin' that political ride
'Cause the air is brown
The ocean turnin' black
The whole wide world got a monkey on its back
Chemicals seepin' into the ground
They barbecuin' weenies at the local meltdown
Politicians spendin' time tryin' to make a buck
The monkey gettin' stronger 'til we all run out of luck
There's a hole in the sky, but you can't see the moon
We got to kill the monkey and let's do it real soon
We got to kill the monkey
Got to kill the monkey
We got to kill the monkey
We got to kill the monkey
'Cause the air is brown
And the ocean turnin' black
Everybody everywhere got a monkey on their back
Take a deep breath and you burn your nose
Take a walk on the beach, you get oil between your toes
You move into a house and you develop a lump
You find out that they built it on a toxic waste dump
Listen to me people while I tell you 'bout the trip
We got to get together just to break the monkey grip
You know he gettin' stronger every day that passes by
I'm gettin' mighty worried, here's the reason why
He's outta control just like a runaway bus
We got to kill the monkey 'fore the monkey kills us
Kill the monkey
We got to kill the monkey
We got to kill the monkey
We got to kill the monkey
'Cause the air is brown
The ocean turnin' black
The whole wide world has got a monkey on its back
We got to kill it
We got to kill it
Before it kills us
Before it kills us
We got to kill it
We got to kill that monkey
Before it kills us
