Monkey to Man lyrics

 
A long time ago, our point of view
Was broadcast by Mr. Bartholomew
And now the world is full of sorrow and pain
And it's time for us to speak up again

You're slack and sorry
The only purpose you serve is to bring us our food
Such an arrogant brood
We sit here staring at your pomp and pout
Outside the bars we use for keeping you out
You've taken everything that you wanted

Broke it up and plundered it and hunted
Ever since we said it
You went and took the credit
It's been headed this way since the world began

When a vicious creature took the jump from Monkey to Man

Monkey to Man
He makes up some kind of fairytales
Every time man struggles and fails
After all of the misery that he has caused
He denies he's descended from the dinosaurs

All the time indulging in his base desires
Points up to heaven with cathedral spires



[Elvis Costello, Monkey to Man lyrics and video on http://crocmusic.com/]

It's been headed this way since the world began
Ever since we said it
He went and took the credit
When a vicious creature took the jump from Monkey to Man

Monkey to Man

(yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)

Big and useless as he has become
Excuse us if we treat him like our idiot cousin
With his crying statues and his flying bomb

Goes 'round acting like the chosen one
Hangs up flowers and bells and rhymes
Fills up the air with his pride and praise
Hoping to hell someone's forgiven his crimes
He's a big disgrace to our beastly ways

Man uses words to dress up his vile instincts
In the fashionable nightclubs and finer precincts
Ever since we said it
He went and took the credit
It's been headed this way since the world began
When a vicious creature took the jump from Monkey to Man
