Monkey On Your Back Lyrics

I'm the new darkness

In your neighborhood

I'd steal all your children

You know that I would

I'd promise them comfort

To ease their pains

Your tears will be fallin

Fallin' down like rain

Jesus could help

The man from Galilee

But them bodies are stackin

Cause they chase after me, yeah

You got a monkey on your back

You got a monkey on your back

He's tryin' to put you on his stack

You got a monkey on your back

I'll give you a reason

Whether love or pain

I cloud what you lose

And what you've left to gain

I'll wear down your body

And I'll crush your soul

I'll make you steal my money

Just to shove down a hole

But Jesus could help

The man from Galilee

But them bodies are stackin

Cause they chase after me, yeah

You got a monkey on your back

You got a monkey on your back

He's tryin' to put you on his stack

You got a monkey on your back

I'll overwhelm you

You'll abandon a hope

Trade dreams and fortunes

For one hit of that dope

I'll make people hate you

They wanna throw you away

When they bury your body

They'll say you earned that day

But Jesus could help

The man from Galilee

But them bodies are stackin

Cause they chase after me, yeah

You got a monkey on your back

You got a monkey on your back

He's tryin' to put you on his stack

You got a monkey on your back

They call me heroin

You'll be on it here on

That's just another

Lie I've got goin' on

So if you're fallin

Well fall on your knees

The blood of the Lamb

It could set you free

Yes, Jesus could help

The man from Galilee

So run after Jesus

Don't you chase after me, yeah

You got a monkey on your back

You got a monkey on your back

You got this monkey on your back

You got a monkey on your back

You got a monkey on your back
