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 such an arrogant brood[00:00:39]

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[00:00:58]

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[00:01:12]

Since the world began[00:01:13]

When a vicious creature took the jump[00:01:15]

From monkey to man[00:01:18]

Monkey to man[00:01:22]

Monkey to man[00:01:26]

Yeah yeah yeah[00:01:29]

Every time that man struggles and fails[00:01:34]

He makes up some kind of fairytales[00:01:41]

After all of the misery that he has caused[00:01:48]

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[00:02:04]

It's been headed this way[00:02:06]

Since the world began[00:02:07]

When a vicious creature took the jump[00:02:09]

From monkey to man[00:02:12]

Monkey to man[00:02:16]

Monkey to man[00:02:20]

Monkey to man[00:02:23]

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah[00:02:27]

Big and useless as he has become[00:02:32]

With his crying statues and his flying bomb[00:02:35]

Goes 'round acting like the chosen one[00:02:39]

Excuse us if we treat him like our idiot cousin[00:02:42]

He hangs up flowers and bells and rhymes[00:02:46]

Hoping to Hell someone's forgiven his crimes[00:02:53]

Fills up the air with his pride and praise[00:03:01]

He's big disgrace to our beastly ways[00:03:04]

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

Man uses words to dress up his vile instincts[00:03:11]

Ever since we said it[00:03:15]

He went and took the credit[00:03:17]

It's been headed this way[00:03:18]

Since the world began[00:03:20]

When a vicious creature took the jump[00:03:22]

From monkey to man[00:03:25]

Monkey to man[00:03:28]

Monkey to man[00:03:32]

Monkey to man[00:03:36]

Monkey to man[00:03:39]

Monkey to man[00:03:43]

Monkey to man[00:03:46]

Monkey to man[00:03:50]

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah[00:03:53]

A long time ago our point of view[00:04:17]
