Lyrics

Monsters

There's monsters in the movies
They've got monsters on the tube
You think people made them up, I got news for you
Ain't nothing that we've conjured that's as scary as the truth
But don't take my word, just read the front page news
Now don't take my word, just read the front page news about the monsters

Inside of you, inside of me
It's buried way down deep where no one else can see
It's stewing for the moment, it's waiting for its time
Now what's it gonna take to make it yearn?
And what's it gonna take to make it burn, make it burn?

Now you're just too sophisticated, you're free from any rage
There's nothing crazy inside of you, there's no monster in your cage
The truth is that it's never had a reason to come out
But maybe you'll be lucky, you'll only read about
And maybe you'll be lucky, you'll only read about, about the monsters
Oh, about your monsters

Inside of you, inside of me
It's buried way down deep where no one else can see
It's stewing for the moment, it's waiting for its time
Now what's it gonna take to make it yearn?
And what's it gonna take to make it burn, make it burn?

Could it just be a day that pushes you too far?
Some crazy fool behind you when you're driving your car
For most it takes a bigger push, something really in your face
A child is shot at school or a wife that's just been raped
But sometimes in the darkness, a prison comes undone
No rhyme, no reason anywhere, just a monster on the run
There's nothing we can do there, no healing of its wounds
Just thank whatever God you want that it wasn't me or you
Because it's a monster on the run

There's monsters in the movies
They've got monsters on the tube
You think people made them up, I got news for you
Ain't nothing that we've conjured that's as scary as the truth
But don't take my word, just read the front page news
Now don't take my word, just read the front page news about the monsters
Oh, about the monsters
