a long time ago, our point of view[00:00:10]

was broadcast by mr. bartholomew[00:00:17]

and now the world is full of sorrow and pain[00:00:24]

and it's time for us to speak up again[00:00:31]

you're slack and sorry[00:00:38]

such an arrogant brood[00:00:40]

the only purpose you serve is to bring us our food[00:00:45]

we sit here staring at your pomp and pout[00:00:53]

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

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

broke it up and plundered it and hunted[00:01:04]

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

you went and took the credit[00:01:09]

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]

monkey to man[00:01:21]

every time man struggles and fails[00:01:33]

he makes up some kind of fairytales[00:01:39]

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[00:01:54]

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]

monkey to man[00:02:15]

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 someone's forgiven his crimes[00:02:52]

fills up the air with his pride and praise[00:03:00]

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

in the fashionable nightclubs and finer precincts[00:03:06]

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[00:03:16]

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]
