monkey off my back

 

 

 

 




VERSE ONE:

Get this monkey off my back,  
Cos it’s just so hard to breathe,  
I’d put a bullet through your heart,  
And pretend that I was grieving.  
You’re like a toxin in my blood,  
A noose around my neck,  
A weight that keeps on pulling me,  
Down to unknown depths.  
I’d hold a knife against your heart,  
A gun against your head,  
A sleeping gas, to ease your life,  
I’d put it down to bad advice.

BRIDGE: 

It would be so easy,  
To take your life away,  
So God damn easy,  
So I’d pray…………………….

CHORUS: 

It’s gonna be a good, good day,  
The sun is shining down on me,  
I think I smoke me some good, good stuff,  
A little pill to bring me ecstasy,  
No longer victimized by love,  
From the forces that weighed down on me,  
For the first time in my life,  

I am free from all this misery.
