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
