lyrics

Beyond the monkey's brain,
Uncoils the cosmic chain.
The light behind his eyes,
Reveals the soul inside.

A man can be enslaved,
From cradle to the grave.
When buckled by the strain,
He's taught to be ashamed.
Unsettled by his need.
Embittered by his greed.
He's locked in a perfect cage.

The sound the monkey makes,
Foretells the bough that breaks.
As he climbs toward the sky,
And dreams that he may fly.

A man can be enslaved,
From cradle to the grave.
When buckled by the strain,
He's taught to be ashamed.
Unsettled by his need.
Embittered by his greed.
He's locked in a perfect cage.

Beware the monkey sage.
He fills up every page,
With words that light a fire,
And squash his own desire.
