Shock the Monkey by Peter Gabriel

Shock the monkey to life
Shock the monkey to life

Cover me when I run
Cover me through the fire
Something knocked me out the trees
Now Im on my knees
Cover me, darling please
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Dont you know when youre going to shock the monkey

Fox the fox
Rat the rat
You can ape the ape
I know about that
There is one thing you must be sure of
I cant take any more
Darling, dont you monkey with the monkey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Dont you know youre going to shock the monkey

Wheels keep turning
Somethings burning
Dont like it but I guess Im learning

Shock! - watch the monkey get hurt, monkey

Cover me, when I sleep
Cover me, when I breathe
You throw your pearls before the swine
Make the monkey blind
Cover me, darling please
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Dont you know youre going to shock the monkey

Too much at stake
Ground beneath me shake
And the news is breaking

Shock! - watch the monkey get hurt, monkey

Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey to life

I certainly wouldn't try the do-it-yourself shock method 8O . But I've heard that electroshock therapy can be successful in treating depression. I would be willing to give it a try.

I've also heard that it can damage your brainfunctions

Don't do it. The only people I've ever known that were treated with ECT were basically invalids who lived on Government assistance. Ever watch "One Flew Over the Coocoos Nest?"

From what I've heard, it's very effective short term but very dangerous. After a few months people go back to the way they were anyway as the brain readjusts itself. So it provides temporary relief in a way. It's still used in some places, but it's not worth it if you ask me.

Great movie, Jack Nicholson stole the show but I think that book of Ken Kesey is even better.
