Текст песни Punish The Monkey (Mark Knopfler) с переводом

They’re driving long nails into coffins

You’ve been having sleepless nights

You’ve gone as quiet as a church mouse

And checking on your rights

The boss has hung you out to dry

And it looks as though

Punish the monkey

And let the organ grinder go

You’ve been talking to a lawyer

Are you going to pretend

That you and your employer

Are still the best of friends

Somebody’s gonna take the fall

There’s your quid pro quo

Punish the monkey

Punish the monkey, yeah

Punish the monkey

And let the organ grinder go

Here comes a police man

He won’t be side-tracked

He’s asking ‘bout a smoking gun

He’s after the bad

It’s a quiet life from here on in

You dropped your poisoned cup

The telephone is ringing

But you’re not picking up

Times I’ve said are funky

And everybody knows

Punish the monkey

Punish the monkey, yeah

Punish the monkey

And let the organ grinder go

Punish the monkey

Punish the monkey, yeah

Punish the monkey

And let the organ grinder go
