Текст песни: 16 Tons of Monkeys + перевод

I’ve been working in a coal mine

On top of the world

I’ve been watching the horizon

I’ve been watching all the girls

I’m a girl watcher

I’ve been countin' on a miracle

I’ve been carryin' a gun

I’ve been slipping into darkness

In the noon day sun

And it’s a hard lesson

I’ve got 16 tons of questions for the teacher

I’ve got 16 tons of monkeys on my back

I’ve got 16 tons of doubt about the future

It’s a wonder that I’ve managed to survive the silent wreckage of my past

I’ve been laughin' on the inside

I’ve been living with the pain

I’ve been working with the system

I’ve been waiting in the rain

'Cause I’m a born swimmer

I’ve been lookin' for an answer

I’ve been lookin' for the love

I’ve been standing in the quicksand

Sinking down but looking up

I need a life saver

I’ve got 16 tons of questions for the teacher

I’ve got 16 tons of monkeys on my back

I’ve got 16 tons of doubt about the future

It’s a wonder that I’ve managed to survive the silent wreckage of my past

You take the little baby

And you, you fill it up with fear

And a blinding insecurity

Then sell him cigarettes and beer

He’s a consumer

Then you shovel in the nonsense

Shovel on the lies

Guns and information

Drugs and bad advice

Meet your new neighbor

He’s got 16 tons of questions for the teacher

He’s got 16 tons of monkeys on his back

He’s got 16 tons of doubt about the future

It’s a wonder that we’ve managed to survive the silent wreckage of our past

About the future

I got 16 tons of monkeys on my back

I’ve got 16 tons of doubt about the future

It’s a wonder that I’ve managed to survive the silent wreckage of my past

About the future

I got 16 tons of monkeys on my back

I’ve got 16 tons of doubt about the future

It’s a wonder that I’ve managed to survive the silent wreckage of my past …
