[ Bad Raps ] Dance, Monkey, Dance

    
Think you know me?      
You don't know me        
Not the slightest --- think again        
Never considered you an enemy        
That's a luxury I'd only  
extend to a friend        
       
You lost that privelege    
with this ventriloquistic    
speaking on my behalf        
despite your dummy speak    
from these lips always       
well worth it for a laugh        
   
Wrap it up      
slap a price tag on        
So damn easy selling a brother out        
Opportunist on the soapbox      
always looking for a patsy      
to drown in shout        
       
Tell me what's it like---      
please do tell---      
preaching to untold deafened ears        
Is it frustrating as hell
being shunned --- leper
walking among your peers?        
     
Maybe you'll learn your lesson        
Let's give it a few more years        
You'd think it would've      
already sunk in by now      
       
like the Titanic      
       
but no rest for the attention    
whore gone manic      
     
Claustrophobic  
mind in a box      
rhetorically bubble wrapped      
Can't see beyond self interests    
Icebergs dead ahead!    
 
Monumentally mouse trapped;       
destined to sink into oblivion      
Oblivious, can't let it die naturally---    
horse beaten way beyond dead        
       
Now you want to tangle      
push your angle        
shove me off my feet        
into your logic's Bermuda triangle---      
every man for himself;        
Greek tragedy straight from Crete        
       
And as you sail away
sink in the Drink      
plugging every self inflicted leak      
in the hull springing eternal        
I'm already tanning on the beach        
receiving kisses from every native girl        
       
Hoowah!        
       
Dance, Monkey, dance        
Put on your bunny slippers      
and your Wal-Mart pajama pants      
Do it really funky      
Dance for me, Monkey      
Just do it and     
dance
