Monkey Dance

[Intro]
Welcome to the shit show
Round and round, I’m caught in this game
Monkey on the loose, I’m feelin’ the same
Dancin’ for my crumbs, just to make a buck
Underneath the weight, I’m starting to crack

[Verse 1]
Jump when they say jump, smile when they demand
Playing the part, got me feelin’ like I’m banned
Little monkey dance, just to earn my keep
Burned out, worn thin, sinkin’ in deep

[Pre-Chorus]
They take all I got, leave me dry and strained
Promises vanish, money’s the only pain
Willing to do whatever, just to keep the lights on
But I’m losin’ myself, I’m so far gone

[Chorus]
Round and round, this cycle never ends
Doing my little monkey dance again and again
For the company’s sake, for a paycheck thin
Chained to this grind, where do I begin?

[Verse 2]
Benefits suck, got no time for rest
Just a number, just a test
Performing for the bosses, selling my soul
A life on hold, losing control

[Pre-Chorus]
They take all I got, leave me dry and strained
Promises vanish, money’s the only pain
Willing to do whatever, just to keep the lights on
But I’m losin’ myself, I’m so far gone

[Chorus]
Round and round, this cycle never ends
Doing my little monkey dance again and again
For the company’s sake, for a paycheck thin
Chained to this grind, where do I begin?

[Bridge]
Is this really living, or just survive?
Dancing on the strings to stay alive
When does it stop? When do I break free?
From this endless dance, from this misery

[Chorus]
Round and round, this cycle never ends
Doing my little monkey dance again and again
For the company’s sake, for a paycheck thin
Chained to this grind, where do I begin?

[Outro]
Round and round, I’m losing my mind
Monkey’s a costume, truth I can’t hide
For the sake of family, I do my part
But deep inside, it’s breakin’ my fucking heart

Metal and  punk, raw and gritty, electric guitar and energetic deep vocals, heavy aggressive drums
