  • You can look at them climbing up the walls
    You can look at them climbing out the bushes
    You can find them when their letters 'bout to fall
    He'll be waiting with his camera on focus
    Everywhere you seem to turn there's a monster
    When you look up in the air, there's a monster
    Paparazzi got you scared like a monster, monster, monster

    (Too bad)
    Hollywood has got you jumping like it should (too bad)
    Has got you bouncing off the wall
    Has got you drunk enough to fall
    (Too bad)
    Hollywood
    Just look in the mirror
    And tell me you like
    Don't you, don't you like it?

    Monster
    He's a monster
    He's an animal
    Monster (yeah)
    He's a monster
    He's an animal
    Oh

    He's coming at ya, coming at ya rather too fast
    Mama say mama got you in a zig zag
    And you're running, and you're running just to escape it
    But they're coming for the money so they fake it
    Everywhere you seem to turn there's a monster
    When you look up in the air, there's a monster
    Oh, when you see them in the street there's a monster, monster, monster

    (Too bad)
    Hollywood has got you jumping like it should (too bad)
    Has got you bouncing off the wall
    Has got you drunk enough to fall
    (Too bad)
    Hollywood
    Just look in the mirror
    And tell me you like what you see

    Monster (he's like an animal)
    He's a monster (just like an animal)
    He's an animal
    And he's moving in the air
    Monster
    He's a monster
    He's an animal, ooh (everybody wanna be a star)

    Why are they (why are they)
    Never satisfied (satisfied)
    With and all you give? (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
    You give them your all
    They're watching you fall
    And they eat your soul (like a vegetable)

    Yeah, yeah, yeah
    Catch me in a bad mood, flipping, you'll take a whippin'
    Animal, Hannibal, cannibal addiction
    Tears appear, yeah, blurring your vision
    Fear in the air, screaming, your blood drippin'
    Shiver a second, now, now, now, what is it?
    Funerals, cemeteries, don't worry, it's time to visit
    Broke bones, tombstones, how do you think I'm kiddin'?
    It's home, sweet home, the land of the forbidden
    All hail, run tell, the King has risen
    2010 Thriller, there's nothin iller, it's killer
    Their vision, they miss 'em, won't impact, this is that
    It's the bomb, ring the alarm, MJ number one
    It goes on and on, it goes on and on
    We get to creeping and crawling in the early morn'
    Dream on dreamer, there's nowhere to run
    You can try but you're done
    I can feel it in the air, here the monster come

    (Too bad)
    Hollywood has got you jumping like it should, girl
    Has got you bouncing off the wall
    Has got you drunk enough to fall
    (Too bad)
    Hollywood
    Just making me clearer
    And tell me you like
    Don't you, don't you like it? Ooh

    Monster (say you wanna be a star)
    He's a monster
    He's an animal (say you wanna go far)
    (Why you can't you quit stalking me?)
    Ooh, oh
    Monster (what'd you do to me?)
    He's a monster (why did you take it? Why did you fake it?)
    He's an animal (yeah, why you hauntin' me?)

    Monster (why you stalking me?)
    He's a monster (why you hauntin' me?)
    He's an animal (why'd you do it? Why'd you)
    (Why you stalkin' me?)

    Monster (why you hauntin' me?)
    He's a monster (why you hauntin' me?)
    He's an animal
    (Why'd you, why'd you, ohh)

    He's dragging you down like a monster (monster)
    He's keeping you down like a monster
    He's dragging you down like a monster (monster)
    He's keeping you down like a monster Writer/s: Curtis James Jackson, Edward Cascio, James Victor Porte, Michael Joe Jackson

  • Brittany from ArizonaI'm pretty positive Michael would be more than disappointed with all of these songs that were CLEARLY thrown together as quick as possible without his perfection. That's just the thing.... No one will ever be able to do what he did. Every song that was released after his death sounds so sloppy and off. Its sad. It almost ruins his name and everything he stood for as far as making and writing music.
