Monkey See, Monkey Do
By
Clay Riness

Look, theres a man high on a horse.
Gonna save the country even if it takes force.
Look theres a place, there on the map.
Fly the boys over, we can have a little scrap.

Welcome to the 90s, welcome one and all.
Anyone can die like a Patriot can fall.
Send them your daughters, send them your sons.
Put them all in camo, give them all guns.

Chorus:

Theres a hole in the presidents pocket.
And the wolves are howling at the door.
And the new recessions gonna push us to the limit.
And were gonna be engaged in war.

Chemical warfare, circumnavigation.
Dig them all in in the name of a nation.
Issue them masks, give them cigarettes.
How it all ends is anybodys guess.

Monkey see, monkey do.
I wanna be a politician too.
I would inherit a monstrous debt.
Third world countries would get me upset.

Repeat Chorus

Im not for. Im not against.
From a monetary standpoint it makes great sense.
How much will a hostage bring?
Is it blue book price or an abstract thing?

Didnt anyone read the great prophecy
In the book of Revelations in the years A.D.?
Could it be now theyre speaking about?
Give it ninety days and we might find out.

Repeat Chorus
