Monty Got a Raw Deal

[Verse 1] Monty, this seems strange to me The movies had that movie thing But nonsense has a welcome ring And heroes don't come easily Now, nonsense isn't new to me I know my head, I know my feet But mischief knocked me in the knees So, just let go Just let go [Verse 2] I saw the ocean meet the man I saw you buried in the sand A friend was there to hold your hand Said, walk on by So, I went walking through the street I saw you strung up in a tree A woman knelt there said to me Said, hold your tongue Hold your tongue [Chorus] You don't owe me anything You don't want this sympathy (Waste your breath) Don't you waste your breath (Waste your breath) For the silver screen [Verse 3] That nonsense doesn't mean a thing They tried to bust you in a sting But virtue isn't everything So, don't waste time Now, here's a rhyme that you can steal Put this on your reel to reel Mischief threw a rotten deal Monty's laying low He is laying low Just let go Just let go [Chorus] You don't owe me anything You don't want this sympathy (Waste your breath) Don't you waste your breath (Waste your breath) Monty, this seems strange to me
