Monty Got A Raw Deal Songtext

[Berry/Buck/Mills/Stipe]

Monty this seems strange to me
The movies had that movie thing,
But nonsense has a welcome ring
omg!ge.fe.j ggnl
And heroes don't come easy

Now nonsense isn't new to me
I know my head, I know my feet,
But mischief knocked me in the knees
Said, Just let go, just let go

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, ma, hold your tongue

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

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, man
He is laying low
Just let go, y'all
Just let go

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
