Monkey (In the Middle) Lyrics

Wake up to the music of the mass

Let it ring out

You're safe but surrounded by what

Life's all about

Alone, it's a spiral that will suck you in

But when we're together

It will burn you out

When there's a will

There's a way

And what worked for yesterday

Would as well today

So pray to their gods

Whatever they may be

Yes, you have a choice

The devil and the sea

Trouble in paradise

Full of virtue and vice

Cover up and don't ya let them

See ya, see ya breaking

Gotta be what they say

There's no go, look away

Cover up and don't ya let them

See ya break

Oh, belong to the age of old

And stuck in the new

You want something beautiful

To make you move

But nobody cares if you live or leave

Give up, it's not like you've got something to lose

All that is true

Is all that is right

The evil will feed

Won't give up the fight

So pray to the rule

That they will let you be

The same design

The devil and the sea

Trouble in paradise

Full of virtue and vice

Cover up and don't ya let them

See ya, see ya breaking

Gotta be what they say

There's no go, look away

Cover up and don't ya let them

See ya break

That the task which has been set us

Is not above our strength

That its pangs and toils are not beyond our endurance.

As long as we have faith

In our cause

And an unconquerable willpower

Salvation will not be denied us

When the fire burns

Missiles in the sky

And you've lost your turn

So just give in

When there's a will

There's a way (nope)

And what worked for yesterday

Would as well today (yeah, not really)

So pray to their gods

Whatever they may be

Yes, you have a choice

The devil and the sea

Trouble in paradise

Full of virtue and vice

Cover up and don't ya let them

See ya, see ya breaking

Gotta be what they say

There's no go, look away

Cover up and don't ya let them

See ya break
