Everybody's Got the Monkey (2025 Remaster)

[Verse 1]

From L.A. to New York, London and Moscow

The monkey is screamin', he's spreading his spell

The monkey be God and make you beg on your knees

You'll be jonesin' for somethin' to make you well

[Chorus]

Everybody's got the monkey

Hear the sub or human kind

Everybody got the monkey

You got yours and I got mine

[Verse 2]

He's hungry for wealth, he's hungry for power

He make you so numb and cold to the core

The hunger of love, the hunger of lust

Make you crave the vеry thing you try to ignore

[Chorus]

Everybody's got the monkеy

Hear the sub or human kind

Everybody got the monkey

You got yours and I got mine

Everybody's got the monkey

In his head or on his back

Everybody got the monkey

What I say is a simple fact

[Bridge]

Homos and heteros, junkies and juicers, psychos and users

Abusers and losers, from problem brokers to TV viewers

There's a monkey for every man, mom and dad

[Chorus]

Everybody's got the monkey

Hear the sub or human kind

Everybody got the monkey

You got yours and I got mine

Everybody's got the monkey

In his head or on his back

Everybody's got the monkey

What I say is a simple fact

[Outro]

Everybody's got the monkey
