Lyrics

Money Monkey, Money Monkey, Money Monkey

In the circus you were born, a pedigree was sworn to be your right.
You hungered for the fame and learned to play the game in the spotlight.
You fooled ?em with your dance, you tricked ?em with your stance, what a campaign.
The crowd couldn?t tell you were a monkey on a chain.

Money Monkey, Money Monkey, Money Monkey

You?re so cute in your three piece suit, but your daddy knows.
You play the simple man, you claim to understand, but your mama knows.
You love to point the blame at any you can?t tame but the whole world knows.
Your legacy will be an ego hanging from a tree as our blood flows.

Money Monkey, Money Monkey, Money Monkey

You were such a hoot in your little monkey suit. You had the smile.
But the more lies you told, freedom bought and sold, and soldier?s exiled.
Dissent is not a sin. You fight wars you can?t win. You?re vain.
Now we all can see you?re a monkey on a chain.

Money Monkey, Money Monkey, Money Monkey
Money Monkey, Money Monkey, Money Monkey
