I knew that! But because this Bruce song sounds very reggae....they could do for example no woman no cry or any song from Bob's songbook...that's what i meant. Thanks
user

Yeahhhhh.. Bruce knows how to do it. A political strong political statement that we all need to listen to VERY carefully. "Part Man, Part Monkey" is what we all are. Please let's not let our government try to get involved. Religious ideology has not place in a "democracy" !

It's ridicoulus to believe in creatioism, and even more to want it to be teached in schools, thanx bruce to be once more the civic coscience of america. PS: bruce votes Obama! that's the way I like it!

What is wrong with teaching that there is a higher power that made the materials that caused the big bang. You can at least accept that. Bruce votes for a Socialist that wants a weaker military, higher taxes, more entitlements, is pro infanticide and comes from the church of hate? Wow, I can see why you want to vote the way the draft dodging adultery committing rock star votes.

Yes, but Newton was not a follower of the Abrahamic, personal God. God for him was a metaphor, look up deists or pantheists, unless you already know what it means.

Lyrics:
They prosecuted some poor sucker in these united states
For teachin' that man descended from the apes
They coulda settles that case without a fuss or fight
If they'd seen me chasin' you sugar
Thru the jungle last night
They'd a called in that jury and a one two three said
'part man part monkey, definitely'
Well the church bell rings from the corner steeple
Man in a monkey suit swears he'll do no evil
Offers his lover's prayer but his soul lies
Dark and driftin and unsatisfied
Well hey bartender tell me what'd ya see
Part man part monkey looks like to me
Well the night is dark the moon is full
The flowers of romance exert their pull
We talk a while my fingers slip
I'm hard and cracking like a whip
Well did God make man in a breath of holy fire
Or did he crawl on up out of the muck and mire
Well the man on the street
Believes what the Bible tells him so
But you can ask me mister because I know
Tell them soul-suckin' preachers to come on down and see
Part man part monkey, baby that's me
They prosecuted some poor sucker in these united states
For teachin' that man descended from the apes
They coulda settles that case without a fuss or fight
If they'd seen me chasin' you sugar
Thru the jungle last night
They'd a called in that jury and a one two three said
'part man part monkey, definitely'
Well the church bell rings from the corner steeple
Man in a monkey suit swears he'll do no evil
Offers his lover's prayer but his soul lies
Dark and driftin and unsatisfied
Well hey bartender tell me what'd ya see
Part man part monkey looks like to me
Well the night is dark the moon is full
The flowers of romance exert their pull
We talk a while my fingers slip
I'm hard and cracking like a whip
Well did God make man in a breath of holy fire
Or did he crawl on up out of the muck and mire
Well the man on the street
Believes what the Bible tells him so
But you can ask me mister because I know
Tell them soul-suckin' preachers to come on down and see
Part man part monkey, baby that's me
