A Rhythmic Rant

What lay’s buried in my memory 
Is my memory sometimes lies
Bloody Mary quite contrary 
The canary quickly dies 

Now the monkey’s in the middle 
You know some monkeys don’t mean jack
Only if you meddle with a monkey 
With a monkey on your back 

You’re all set on settling changes 
And the hope that change can bring 
But if that change don’t change the outcome 
Then that change won’t change a thing 

If the proof is in the pudding 
Then I’m the pudding in the proof 
When your output starts inputting 
Is when your heart pumps out the truth
