Gospel #1

The lion and the monkey
were walking through the jungle
till the light they were seeking
wasn’t there no more, hey-hey
hey-hey!
The monkey said:
«Leo we’re a team that’s right»
The lion licked his chops
and then he set to bite, hey-hey
hey-hey
It’s all been said before
I don’t take it as gospel no more
The lady and the lover
were talking to each other
with satin kisses
and candy corn, hey-hey,
hey-hey
Five years later
there’s pain and resentment
and a stony silence
about as thick as mud, hey-hey
hey-hey
It’s all been said before
I don’t take it as gospel no more
Me and the governor
were talking with each other
about the power of one man
to change the world, hey-hey
hey-hey
Two months later
I was taken by surprise
when the governor put his vote
on the other side, hey-hey
hey-hey
It’s all been said before
I don’t take it as gospel no more
no more
I don’t take it no more
