Elvis Costello - Monkey To Man[00:00:00]

★ VAN制作[00:00:07]

A long time ago, our point of view[00:00:11]

Was broadcast by Mr. Bartholomew[00:00:18]

Now the world is full of sorrow and pain[00:00:25]

It's time for us to speak up again[00:00:32]

You're slack and sorry[00:00:39]

Such an arrogant brood[00:00:41]

The only purpose you serve is to bring us our food[00:00:46]

We sit here staring at your pomp and pout[00:00:54]

Outside the bars we use for keeping you out[00:00:57]

You've taken everything that you wanted[00:01:01]

Broke it up and plundered it and hunted[00:01:05]

Ever since we said it[00:01:08]

You went and took the credit[00:01:10]

It's been headed this way since the world began[00:01:11]

When a vicious creature took the jump from Monkey to Man[00:01:15]

Every time that man struggles and fails[00:01:33]

He makes up some kind of fairytales[00:01:40]

After all of the misery that he has caused[00:01:47]

He denies he's descended from the dinosaurs[00:01:51]

Points up to heaven with cathedral spires[00:01:55]

All the time indulging in his base desires[00:01:58]

Ever since we said it[00:02:02]

He went and took the credit[00:02:03]

It's been headed this way since the world began[00:02:05]

When a vicious creature took the jump from Monkey to Man[00:02:09]

Big and useless as he has become[00:02:31]

With his crying statues and his flying bomb[00:02:34]

Goes 'round acting like the chosen one[00:02:38]

Excuse us if we treat him like our idiot cousin[00:02:41]

He hangs up flowers and bells and rhymes[00:02:45]

Hoping to hell that someone's forgiven his crimes[00:02:52]

Fills the air with his pride and his praise[00:02:59]

He's big disgrace to our beastly ways[00:03:03]

In the fashionable nightclubs and finer precincts[00:03:07]

Man uses words to dress up his vile instincts[00:03:10]

Ever since we said it[00:03:14]

He went and took the credit[00:03:15]

It's been headed this way since the world began[00:03:17]

When a vicious creature took the jump from Monkey to Man[00:03:21]
