Stan Ridgway - Monsters of the Id lyrics

Monsters of the id No longer stayin' hid And terrors of the night Are out in broad daylight No need to knock on wood Don't stop to say a prayer It won't do any good They're multiplyin' in the air Creatures of the deep Are going without sleep And phantoms of the dark Have their own place to park No need to lock the door They're sprouting through the cracks They're making room for more They're deputizing maniacs Prehistoric ghouls Are making their own rules And resurrected huns Are pa**in' out the guns No need to cause a fuss Don't go and make a scene They know what's best for us They're fightin' fire with gasoline The creatures from the swamp Rewrite their own Mein Kampf Neanderthals amuck Just tryin' to make a buck And goblins and their hags Are out there wavin' flags Oh, when will we be rid Of monsters of the id Monsters of the id
