[ Featuring THE KENTUCKY TUMBLEWEEDS ]
I'm the new darkness
In your neighborhood
I'd steal all your children
You know that I would
I'd promise them comfort
To ease their pains
Your tears will be fallin
Fallin' down like rain
Jesus could help
The man from Galilee
But them bodies are stackin
Cause they chase after me, yeah
You got a monkey on your back
You got a monkey on your back
He's tryin' to put you on his stack
You got a monkey on your back
I'll give you a reason
Whether love or pain
I cloud what you lose
And what you've left to gain
I'll wear down your body
And I'll crush your soul
I'll make you steal my money
Just to shove down a hole
But Jesus could help
The man from Galilee
But them bodies are stackin
Cause they chase after me, yeah
You got a monkey on your back
You got a monkey on your back
He's tryin' to put you on his stack
You got a monkey on your back
I'll overwhelm you
You'll abandon a hope
Trade dreams and fortunes
For one hit of that dope
I'll make people hate you
They wanna throw you away
When they bury your body
They'll say you earned that day
But Jesus could help
The man from Galilee
But them bodies are stackin
Cause they chase after me, yeah
You got a monkey on your back
You got a monkey on your back
He's tryin' to put you on his stack
You got a monkey on your back
They call me heroin
You'll be on it here on
That's just another
Lie I've got goin' on
So if you're fallin
Well fall on your knees
The blood of the Lamb
It could set you free
Yes, Jesus could help
The man from Galilee
So run after Jesus
Don't you chase after me, yeah
You got a monkey on your back
You got a monkey on your back
You got this monkey on your back
You got a monkey on your back
You got a monkey on your back
