Charlie Wood - Music Is My Monkey Lyrics

When you say you don't know what to play
I don't know what you're talking about
I have known from the very first day
It's inside and it wants to get out

I don't try to sound some other way
Cause I'm free from self-hatred and doubt
I'm in touch and my inner child is funky
Cause my music is my monkey

Wanna pour me a swig to get by
I can sure flip my wig on that stuff
Wanna pass me a smoke, can't deny
It's a gas of a joke with a puff

Try to sell me a spike to get high
Got to tell you, I'm quite high enough
Can't you see I don't need to be no junky
Cause my music is my monkey

Seems to me it ain't such a good deal
Looks to me like all work and no play
While you sit with your nose to the wheel
I'll be grinding the organ all day

Follow up on the fun that you feel
Always been such a much better way
I will not be some corporation's flunky
Cause my music is my monkey
