Mark Knopfler - Punish The Monkey Lyrics
Artist: Mark Knopfler
Album: Kill to Get Crimson
Genre: Rock
- Songwriters: Mark Knopfler
They're driving long nails into coffins
You've been having sleepless nights
You've gone as quiet as a church mouse
And checking on your rights
The boss has hung you out to dry
And it looks as though
Punish the monkey
And let the organ grinder go
You've been talking to a lawyer
Are you gonna pretend
That you and your employer
Are still the best of friends?
Somebody's gonna take the fall
There's your quid pro quo
Punish the monkey
Punish the monkey, yeah
Punish the monkey
And let the organ grinder go
Here comes a policeman
He won't be sidetracked
He's asking â€~bout a smoking gun
He's after the bad
It's a quiet life from here on in
You dropped your poisoned cup
The telephone is ringing
But you're not picking up
Times I've said are flunky
And everybody knows
Punish the monkey
(Punish the monkey)
Punish the monkey, yeah
(Punish the monkey)
Punish the monkey
And let the organ grinder go
Punish the monkey
(Punish the monkey)
Punish the monkey, yeah
(Punish the monkey)
Punish the monkey
And let the organ grinder go
Punish the monkey
Punish the monkey
Punish the monkey
Punish the monkey
