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
