The fortune teller looked into my eyballs
The wrinkles on her face about to crack
She said ' You best believe it,
You ain't goin' nowhere, unless you get that
Monkey Off your back'
I made believe the devil made me do it
I was the evil leader of the pack
You best believ I had it all and then I blew it
Feedin' that fuckin' Monkey On My Back
If you put it a spoon man I would boot it
Some king whose mental house was just a shack
Where do you draw the line when all your friends are dyin'
You got to get that mokey off your back
