Monkey Mind Lyrics

It's hard being happy

When I'm just a monkey

With a mind that's evolved to be constantly wanting

All of the time

So I fill it with dumb things

Mostly trivial nothing

But it's favorite one is this image of you that it plays every night

Oh monkey mind

When will you resign

You know that you can't have it

You can't have it

You can't have it

I've got plenty to fill me

But how quickly it's fleeting

It's a terrible truth that I try to subdue cuz I know it ain't right

But I'm a simpleton really

And I've got primitive feelings

It's three in the morning, this vision of you is runnin' all of the time

Oh monkey mind

When will you resign

You know that you can't have it

You can't have it

You can't have it

Oh monkey mind

Stop wasting your time

You know that you can't have it

You can't have it

You can't have it

You can't have it

You can't have it

You can't have it

You can't have it
