Punish The Monkey |
| They’re driving long nails into coffins |
| You’ve been having sleepless nights |
| You’ve gone as quiet as a church mouse |
| And checking on your rights |
| The boss has hung you out to dry |
| And it looks as though |
| Punish the monkey |
| And let the organ grinder go |
| You’ve been talking to a lawyer |
| Are you going to pretend |
| That you and your employer |
| Are still the best of friends |
| Somebody’s gonna take the fall |
| There’s your quid pro quo |
| Punish the monkey |
| Punish the monkey, yeah |
| Punish the monkey |
| And let the organ grinder go |
| Here comes a police man |
| He won’t be side-tracked |
| He’s asking ‘bout a smoking gun |
| He’s after the bad |
| It’s a quiet life from here on in |
| You dropped your poisoned cup |
| The telephone is ringing |
| But you’re not picking up |
| Times I’ve said are funky |
| And everybody knows |
| Punish the monkey |
| Punish the monkey, yeah |
| Punish the monkey |
| And let the organ grinder go |
| Punish the monkey |
| Punish the monkey, yeah |
| Punish the monkey |
| And let the organ grinder go |
