Monkey Back Lyrics

Oh God save me for I am wicked and damned

Oh God show me a better way to the Promised Land

'Cause I I can't take it no I can't shake it no I can't break it no

Don't wanna eat it no more I cannot hide it

I'm uninvited I can't fake it no I can't shake it

I can't take it I can't shake shake shake shake



Shake that 'ol monkey off my back

Gimme my money back slip through your crack

Gimme my money back sit back



Oh God know me I'm just dirty footprints at your door

Oh God hold me from one more trip and liquor store

'Cause I I can't take it and I can't shake shake shake shake



Shake that 'ol monkey off my back

Gimme my money back slip through your crack

Gimme my money sit back

Gimme my money back

Slip through your crack an' get back



I'm not praying for a miracle just a little peace of mind

And if what I do is all in vain as I'm screamin' goin' insane

Still I am not my name God wouldn't save me,

So now it's me and my rotten friends

The drugs ain't working, no they're just jacking me off again
