Kill the Monkey

I’m breathing Carbon Monoxide
Aluminium Chloride
Sky’s fallin’down ain’t nowhere, to hide
Looks like it’s time for the people to decide
They’re tired of taking that political ride
'Cause the air is brown, the ocean’s turning black
The whole wide world’s got a monkey on its back
Chemicals seeping into the ground
They’re barbequing wienies at the local meltdown
Politicians spending time trying to make a buck
Monkey’s getting stronger 'til we all run out of luck
There’s a hole in the sky but you can’t see the moon
We gotta kill the monkey and let’s do it real soon
We got to 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’s turning black
Everybody everywhere’s got a monkey on it’s back
Take a deep breath and you burn your nose
Take a walk on the beach, you get oil between your toes
Move into a house and you develop a lump
You find out 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’s getting stronger everyday that passes by
I’m gettin' mighty worried, here’s the reason why
He’s out of control just like a runaway bus
We got to kill the monkey before the monkey kills us
We got to 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’s turning black
The whole wide world’s got a monkey on it’s 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 the Monkey before the monkey kills us
