R.E.M. - Monty Got A Raw Deal Lyrics

Send "Monty Got A Raw Deal" Ringtone to Cell Phone

Monty, this seems strange to me 
Movies had that movie thing 
But nonsense has a welcome ring 
And heroes don't come easy 

Now nonsense isn't new to me 
I know my head, I know my feet 
But mischief knocked me in the knees 
Said just let go, just let it go 

I saw the ocean meet the man 
I saw you buried in the sand 
A friend was there to hold your hand 
Said walk on by 

So I went walking through the street 
I saw you strung up in a tree 
A woman knelt there said to me 
Said hold your tongue, hold your tongue 

You don't owe me anything 
You don't want this sympathy (Don't you waste your breath) 
Don't you waste your breath (waste your breath) 
For the silver screen 

That nonsense doesn't mean a thing 
They try to bust you in a sting 
But virtue isn't everything 
So don't waste time 

Now here's a rhyme that you can steal 
Put this on your reel to reel 
Mischief threw a rotten deal 
Monty is lying low, he is lying low 
Just let it go, just let go 

You don't owe me anything 
You don't want this sympathy (Don't you waste your breath) 
Don't you waste your breath (waste your breath) 
Monty, this seems strange to me
