'Prepare to do the monkey business ...'

lyrics

____________________________________
I am a haunted man
something weighing heavy on my conscience, yeah
I didn’t pull the trigger, man
but I’m stained; blood is on my hands

my mind is sickening
gotta take myself out of the loop
I can hear a darker voice
says it’s time to make a starker choice

cut me a deal - what else can I do?
It’s better for me, it’s sure as hell better for you

you can forget the mercy and forgiveness
let's prepare to do the monkey business
long live the king, so say all of us
but if the terms are generous
I’ll put a stop to him; I’ll put a stop to him

I’ve been his bag man
he’s had my loyalty; where’s my reward?
show me the swag, man
I’ve eaten at his table now I want a bigger share

I have a method and motivation
I’ll find an opportunity
the more a man is trusted
the easier an unsuspecting hand gets busted

cut me a deal - and set me free
It’s better for you, sure as hell better for me

you can forget the mercy and forgiveness
let’s prepare to do the monkey business
long live the king, so say all of us
I’ll plant a Judas kiss, I’ll be his nemesis
I’ll put a stop to him; I’ll put a stop to him
