Something to be: a man
Something to feel: sorrow
The plan is beg, borrow, lead or follow
And give the monkey a peanut
He has learned to write his name

Something to be: the rock
Something to be: the roller
I've got the frequency
Maybe I'll just hack the controller
And give the monkey a peanut
He has learned to sign a check

Don't drown yourself by the riverside
Its such a drab, unemotional enterprise
You might be stricken with tradition
But those dogs don't bite
Its a pretty sad condition
But its only ever something to be

Something to see: the light
Something to fight: the addiction
It's black and white
But I can contain contradiction
And give the monkey a peanut
He has learned to take a chance
