lyrics

Elijah, change the channel
Find my perfect life
This sitcom's falling on the sharp edge of a knife
At this degree, don't count on me
I won't hold out much more
Halfway 'tween suicide
And the liquor store

She said
Baby, don't get so heavy
Don't get so heavy
It's really not that bad
No use crying all your life
'Bout the things you never had

Her goal was the role
To play mother of the earth
Gave her fifteen screaming children in one single birth
And each had screaming eyes so cold
They'd freeze you when they spoke
Man, that girl could take a punch
But she couldn't take a joke

I said...

When the monkeys on my back
Crawl right into my head
Start talking politics and screaming to be fed
I put my boots on and keep on walking
Straight on down the track
I can hear those monkeys singing
As they're jumping off my back

They sing...
