Punish The Monkey Lyrics - Kill To Get Crimson - Mark Knopfler

They're driving long nails into coffins 

You've been having sleepless nights 

You've gone as quiet as a church mouse 

And checking on your rights 

The boss has hung you out to dry 

And it looks as though 

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 gonna take the fall 

There's your quid pro quo 

Punish the monkey 

Punish the monkey, yeah 

Punish the monkey 

And let the organ grinder go

Here comes a police man 

He won't be side-tracked. 

He's asking 'bout a smoking gun 

He's after the bad 

It's a quiet life from here on in 

You dropped your poisoned cup 

The telephone is ringing 

But you're not picking up 

Times I've said are funky 

And everybody knows 

Punish the monkey 

Punish the monkey, yeah 

Punish the monkey 

And let the organ grinder go
