I Once Was A Monkey

When I was young
I was a wild boy
and a devilish
monkey,
I saw 
a butcher
knife
and it became 
a toy
I tried
to stick
it in an
electrical 
outlet 
and my
dad quite
terrified
nearly
cut
my fingers
off,
prying
it from
my 
hand,
something
that the
scars will
always remind
me of,
 oh
yeah
I was a wild boy
and a monkey,
I learned how
to climb
and made it
to the flat
summit 
of the
refrigerator
when I was
two, 
knocking
everything 
off 
of 
it,
I never
knew 
what 
anger
was,
until I
heard
my dad 
yell for
the 
first 
time, 
oh yeah I
was a wild 
boy and
a
monkey
I would
eat 
everything in
the house
and then
throw 
it
up,
my 
favorite thing
to do was 
climb on 
the
roof,
oh yes
I was 
quite
macaque,
I talked
the neighbor
kid into 
playing
with 
matches
and we
accidentally 
lit his
yard on
fire
oh yeah
I was 
wild 
boy 
and
a
monkey,
I would sneak
out of the house
and go on long
walks 
for hours
stealing
cool shit
from 
back yards
for hours, 
and then, 
my dad
would make
me return 
everything 
that I stole,
oh yeah 
I was a 
wild boy 
and a monkey,
my parents 
got divorced
one day and 
my mother
took us
to live far
away from 
my dad, 
one day 
after watching
Violent movies
on tv 
I went
 out 
and pulled
a knife
out on 
another
kid, 
oh yeah
I was a 
wild boy
and a 
monkey,
but I did 
get a
spankin' 
a couple
of
months
later,
I hit a
boy
with 
a bat, 
I was not
even
seven 
yet,
I went 
to live
with my
dad 
and my
stepmother
and 
met the
iron fist,
and I
Was still
a wild boy
and a monkey,
but I had 
really,
really
good
handlers
