Punish The Monkey
de Mark Knopfler
They're driving long nails into coffins
You've been having sleepless nights
You've gone quiet as a church mouse
And checking on your rights
The boss has hung you out to dry
And it looks as though
They'll punish the monkey
And let the organ grinder go.
You've been talking to a lawyer
Are you going to pretend
That you and your employer
Are still the best of friends?
Somebody's going to take the fall
There's your quid pro quo.
They'll punish the monkey,
They'll punish the monkey,
They'll punish the monkey,
And let the organ grinder go.
Here comes a policeman,
He won't be sidetracked.
He's asking about a smoking gun,
He's after the facts.
It's a quiet life from here on in,
You've dropped your poison cup.
The telephone is ringing
But you're not picking up.
Time's up, Sir Lord Flunkey,
And everybody knows
They'll punish the monkey,
They'll punish the monkey,
They'll punish the monkey,
And let the organ grinder go.
They'll punish the monkey,
Punish the monkey,
Punish the monkey,
And let the organ grinder go.(2X)
