For Monkeys lyrics

I don't know what to say, cause I don't feel that good today
I don't know what to do, I left my mind in all that glue
if I try to think or if I do something about this mess
then I will find myself in a situation I can't deal with now
my head it start to pound
my thoughts are flying around
and my body hits the ground.

I can't hear a sound and I feel fine
I can see what's wrong

I remember when this was different than a job
for friendship and for fun, in harmony we got it done
we had a good scene going in our hometown Pennybride
most of those bands are gone, it can be tough to stand alone
so many times it has been shown.

But it looks good, just as it should
feels good, not for me I can't stay that yet
now when you're filled up with regret

The joy and the pain, it's all in the game
but right now the joy's far away
we're gonna take it back to how it was before now
so what if we're last, so what if we're gone
you're waiting for that day, but I know it won't come
we've reached the bottom and now we're just looking forward.

For twelve years I've been down
but I'm not whining, I'm still smiling
and I'm still around every night.

Trendy winds are blowing thru my hair
the punk elite are checking everything I wear
I'm tired of their endless whine, why can't they mind their own
cause what I am is what I will be.

Don't need you or your crew
to tell me what to think or do
everyday when you try to waste my time
I waste a rhyme.

Sometimes I can't understand what's wrong

Looking back in anger, looking back with joy and laughs
don't ask me all those questions, cause I don't have the answers now
I tried to hold back all my thoughts and all my dreams
just to make things better, I was using myself past my means.

But all those days are gone
and I can't find the path that I should follow
I'm walking unknown land
mile after mile I search the way back to my mind

Here we are again with another bunch of soft songs
maybe you are wondering why it took us so long
with a schedule tight, studiotime is sight
we have mostly been on touring.
Inspiration has been hard this time and honestly
I've had some problems with all these rhymes.

We're under stress again, but it has always been that way
and once we get it right, then I know it's there to stay.

Every morning, it's a new surprise
don't know who I am before I roll the dice
the options is the only thing that I decide
you see, I live for the moment now
I never did before, with all and everything I sweap the floor
random I am, I never give a damn about what's gonna happen next
my wife and kids they left me and my job is just a memory
but that's the kind of price you've got to pay

A snake, a fake, he's lame, he's in the game
for the money and for the fame
a spin, a grin, he's on and then we yawn
steals the credit then he's gone
he's the man with a plan and first he'll seem helpfull
to make sure that you're on the hook
he's so full of bull and he sure will pull
some strings to make things go his way
everything will go his way.

We're in the monkey biz

Can you pass me the black gold
I wanna know how many shirts got sold
I'm gonna beat you in soccer
we bought our Juve-shirts in an Italian footlocker
We saw the real world today
poor swedes were afraid
left France behind us broke some fingers of Magnus'.

Like it or not, I always say that I'd rather go home
like it or not, this time I never wanted to go home

Ingredients is a big thing

When I am lozin' must in a conversation
it makes me use my imagination
start to think that they're after me
'cause I'm as sore as those monkeys hope.
The chat goes on and I feel smaller,
the guys in front of me they get taller
when I open my mouth again to tell them something more
they answer me with a hockeyscore.

Must be strong, can't be wrong

When I was a kid I thought that I could fly
threw myself out of a window, right out into the sky
now when I am older I know that I could die
die from a depression, I would learn my lesson well.

Life's so normal, nothing's shocking
Boring planet, cause no one here is rocking.
Life's so tragic, nothing's clocking
Boring planet cause no one here is rocking hard.

I'm one year older now since last time I saw you
in case you wanna know, I'm about to say what I'm up to
first of all I'm a sluggard movin' slow in a clumsy way
some peace of mind is what I want, but that will be the day
I've been going with the flow for too long now, this must end
running 'round in circles, I've been so far away from myself
