Lyrics

They say that burning crosses
Is a religion in itself
A hundred strains of murder
It is the ruin in my health
When we first met as lovers
We walked together hand in hand
But now that bridge of love is shattered
I'm such a lonely man
Well, I'm not gonna be your monkey
I'm not gonna be your fool
I'm not gonna stand around waiting
While you're out there trying to be cool
At the bitter end
At the bitter end
Well, you listed all my virtues honey
And you charged a real high price
Well, given the set of circumstances
I don't think that's nice
Well, I'm not gonna be your monkey
I'm not gonna be your clown
I'm not gonna stand around watching
As they lower you down in the ground
At the bitter end
I mean the bitter end
I'm not complaining, shining armor
Honey, do what it takes from rust
I'm moving one step higher
Honey, tell me, honey, tell me
Honey, you must
Well, I gave you all my confidence
And you give me back this lies
I recognize that most of us friends
Most of them are spies
With all this poison in the system
Love was murdered from the first
And though I practiced Eastern logic
I just cannot break the curse
Well, I'm not gonna be your monkey
I'm not gonna dance and cheer
I'm not gonna stand around waiting
While you're taking your lunch with the pigs
Taking lunch with the pigs
At the bitter end
At the bitter end
