When you look, what do you see?
You only see the monkey not the man in me
But now I'm back, and that's a fact
Gonna show the next generation where I'm at
What I mean is to say
The way that I was is the same as I am today
Now if you're white, or if you're black
Remember you can't get the monkey off your back
And now you're running and you're running and you're running away
You're running from the monkey man
And now you're running and you're running and you're running away
You're running from the monkey man
I was lost, but now I'm found
Some might even say that I've been around
With the crowd I would move
Mr. sophisticated just can't lose
Now in the style that I was dressed
I was the steady reason no-one could test
Yeah I was smart and I was cool No matter how hard they tried I was no-ones fool
And now you're running and you're running and you're running away
You're running from the monkey man
And now you're running and you're running and you're running away
You're running from the monkey man
Did you hear what I say?
Now did you hear what I say?
When you look, what do you see?
You only see the monkey not the man in me
But now I'm back, and that's a fact
Gonna show the next generation where I'm at
What I mean is to say
The way that I was is the same as I am today
And if you're white, or if you're black
Remember you can't get the monkey off your back
And now you're running and you're running and you're running away
You're running from the monkey man
The Specials, also known as The Special AKA, are a British musical group formed in Coventry in 1977. Considered one of the leading exponents of the British 2 Tone ska movement of the late 1970s, alongside groups like Madness, The Selecter and The Beat, they managed to combine the energetic rhythm of ska with politically and socially charged lyrics that reflected the tensions and inequalities of the time. Their sound, characterized by a mix of ska, rocksteady and punk, has influenced generations of musicians and continues to be appreciated for its contagious energy and message of hope and change. Among their most representative songs are «Ghost Town», «A Message to You Rudy» and «Too Much Too Young». The self-titled debut album of 1979 is considered a classic of the 2 Tone genre.
