REM - Monty Got A Raw Deal lyrics

rate me

Monty this seems strange to me.<br>The movies had that movie thing,<br>But nonsense has a welcome ring<br>And heroes don't come easy.<br><br>Now, nonsense isn't new to me.<br>I know my head, I know my feet,<br>But mischief knocked me in the knees.<br>Said, just let go. just let go.<br><br>I saw the ocean meet the man.<br>I saw you buried in the sand.<br>A friend was there to hold your hand,<br>Said, walk on by.<br><br>So, I went walking through the street.<br>I saw you strung up in a tree.<br>A woman knelt there said to me,<br>Said, hold your tongue, man. hold your tongue.<br><br>You don't owe me anything.<br>You don't want this sympathy. [waste your breath]<br>Don't you waste your breath. [waste your breath]<br>For the silver screen.<br><br>That nonsense doesn't mean a thing,<br>They tried to bust you in a sting,<br>But virtue isn't everything<br>So, don't waste time.<br><br>Now, here's a rhyme that you can steal.<br>Put this on your reel to reel.<br>Mischief threw a rotten deal.<br>Monty's laying low, man.<br>He is laying low.<br>Just let go, y'all.<br>Just let go.<br><br>You don't owe me anything.<br>You don't want this sympathy. [waste your breath]<br>Don't you waste your breath. [waste your breath]<br>Monty this seems strange to me.
