Grumbling Monkeys In My Belly

I grew up in a village with bare feet and hand me downs
Our home was a shack of zinc, with packed mud for the ground
No food on broken plates
For poverty rules my fate
Those grumbling monkeys in my belly will have to wait

Have crumbs and castaways, this curry tastes damn good
Who cares about hygiene when you haven't had no food
Beware of death they say
Well, I'm heading right that way
Those grumbling monkeys in my belly will cry today

Oh monkeys in my belly
Monkeys in my brain
When you're hungry everything is dark
While life saps away

Old sandals round my neck, I'm afraid to wear them down
Today I'm going downtown, to ride the underground
St. Vincent doles some wholesome soup
My name's still in their loop
Those grumbling monkeys in my belly will eat today

What life do I have, this vicious loop can't break
The harder I try, the tighter God forsakes
I raise my hands towards the sky
But it rains so hard but dry
Those grumbling monkeys in my belly will cry tonight
