Monument Songtext
von The Waterboys

The man is a monument to himself
Oh yeah, listen to him talk
The man is a monument to himself
Oh yeah, listen to him talk

He says:
"Tell you ′bout my genius, man
It's as high as the sky is blue
Explore my work you′ll understand
And come to find I'm a healer too"
So Narcissus plays his game
A hustle by any other name

(Monument)
The man is a monument to himself
Oh yeah, listen to him talk
The man is a monument to himself
Oh yeah, listen to him talk


He says:
"A humble servant of the fates
The powers that be tried to pull me down
Yet I'm the peer of all the greats
Enlightenment follows me around"
You who pass remember this
Here spoke the great self-rhapsodist

(Monument)
The man is a monument to himself
Oh yeah, listen to him talk
The man is a monument to himself
Oh yeah, listen to him talk

Loves, loves, loves, loves, loves
The sound of his voice
Loves, loves, loves, loves, loves
The sound of his voice

(Monument)
The man is a monument to himself
Oh yeah, listen to him talk
The man is a monument to himself
Oh yeah, listen to him talk

(Monument)
The man is a monument to himself
Oh yeah, listen to him talk
The man is a monument to himself
Oh yeah, listen to him talk
