A long time ago, our point of view
Was broadcast by Mr. Bartholomew
Now the world is full of sorrow and pain
It's time for us to speak up againYou're slack and sorry such an arrogant brood
The only purpose you serve is to bring us our food
We sit here staring at your pomp and pout
Outside the bars we use for keeping you outYou've taken everything that you wanted
Broke it up and plundered it and hunted
Ever since we said it
You went and took the creditIt's been headed this way
Since the world began
When a vicious creature took the jump
From monkey to man
Monkey to man
Monkey to man
Yeah yeah yeahEvery time that man struggles and fails
He makes up some kind of fairytales
After all of the misery that he has caused
He denies he's descended from the dinosaursPoints up to heaven with cathedral spires
All the time indulging in his base desires
Ever since we said it
He went and took the creditIt's been headed this way
Since the world began
When a vicious creature took the jump
From monkey to man
Monkey to man
Monkey to man
Monkey to man
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeahBig and useless as he has become
With his crying statues and his flying bomb
Goes 'round acting like the chosen one
Excuse us if we treat him like our idiot cousinHe hangs up flowers and bells and rhymes
Hoping to Hell someone's forgiven his crimes
Fills up the air with his pride and praise
He's big disgrace to our beastly waysIn the fashionable nightclubs and finer precincts
Man uses words to dress up his vile instincts
Ever since we said it
He went and took the creditIt's been headed this way
Since the world began
When a vicious creature took the jump
From monkey to manMonkey to man
Monkey to man
Monkey to manMonkey to man
Monkey to man
Monkey to man
Monkey to man
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeahA long time ago, our point of view
