Song Lyrics

Rollin' in the rich man's war, feelin' not so very cool
I don't take my handout, oh I swing it all night long
It's not happenin', I don't feel it
Puts the strainin' back as canin'
Then you find it and pull yourself together and come out with a mouthful
Know that one monkey
He don't stop no show
One monkey
He don't stop no show

Movin' up the 'D' track oh, I got my hammer in my hand
Takin' mind for goodness Oh I, I'll give the best for you
Oh I'm tryin', yes I'm tryin'
Got to make it, not just fake it
But the music gets you goin' stronger and it drives you right on
You know that one monkey
He don't stop no show
One monkey
He don't stop no show

Rollin' in the rich man's war, feelin' not so very cool
Gotta take my handout, swing it all night long
It's not happenin', I don't feel it
Puts the strainin' back as canin'
Then you find it and pull yourself together and come out with a mouthful
'Cause you know that one monkey
He don't stop no show
One monkey
He don't stop no show
One monkey
He don't stop no show
One monkey
He don't stop no show
One monkey
He don't stop no show
