A killer is someone who grinds
A killer gets that money!

But we’re here to study a new kind of killer
A serial killer

Life is mundane, might as well look nice
Got my monkey suit on and it’s worth the price
Misanthrope but my threads I like
Write, record, relate, take my own advice, because

Our health insurance costs way too much
Soon as I turn 25 my whole check is a bust
Soon as we learn how to drive we get wrecked in a brush
With death, and she gonna collect like the IRS does
Bureaucracy, hypocrisy, this ain’t a capitalist system
It’s oligopolies turned oligarchy
Ain’t no consumer driven philosophies in supply side economies
Y’all want that on demand but ain’t demanding apologies
From speed-fueled presidents who want a monarchy
And politicians ain’t say much but a bunch of malarkey
With they tailored suit fit and driving cars without carkeys
While the rest of the country is polarized they party because

Life is mundane, might as well look nice
Got my monkey suit on and it’s worth the price
Misanthrope but my threads I like
Write, record, relate, take my own advice because
I feel as though I’ve devolved to a chimp
Got my monkey suit on feeling like a simp
For the man, join the band, the wagon takes all there is
For one man and his clan this plan would seem the fairest
Fairest in the land? Not by a long shot
But a single hair strand caught in a hard knot
Caught between a rock and a Hard Rock Café
Only because you thought compassion was so passé
Avé maria, Lord, I pray for the day
Where a suit & tie’s respected and not so lame
And it’s not just a uniform for playing the game
We wear these disguises because this life is a shame
(Hold up)

Life is mundane, might as well look nice
Got my monkey suit on and it’s worth the price
Misanthrope but my threads I like
Write, record, relate, take my own advice

Own advice, own advice
Brass tax, suit class, jazz rap my vice
Inspire my funky sauce, keep it true to the last slice
The higher a monkey climbs, how easy you see his ass, right?

Life is mundane, might as well look nice
Got my monkey suit on and it’s worth the price
Misanthrope but my threads I like
Write, record, relate, take my own advice
Own advice, yeah
This my version of a self-help book
Lead your own life

We take those, yeah, we take those
We take those, yeah, we take those
