I don't need no, I don't need no slack Don't you do it, it'll stop you in your tracks You might think it's clever, not enough forever But a monkey on your back Ain't no future, the late night ain't the way If you got problems, face them now today Cos there ain't no use in hidin', but you'll watch your girlfriends dyin' The monkey makes you pay Tell'em You might think I ain't got no place to preach But paradise is right there in your reach But I'm here to tell ya, heroin's gonna kill ya The monkey's just a leech
