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

Monty, this seems strange to me The 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

I said, just let go, just let go I saw the ocean meet the man

I saw you buried in the sand

A friend was there to hold your hand

I 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

I said, hold your tongue, man, hold your tongue

You don’t owe me anything

You don’t want this sympathy

Don’t you waste your breath

(Don't waste your breath)

For the silver screen

That nonsense doesn’t mean a thing

They tried 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’s laying low, man, he is laying low

Just let go, y’all, just let go You don’t owe me anything

You don’t want this sympathy

(Waste your breath)

Don’t you waste your breath

(Don't waste your breath)

Monty, this seems strange to me
