Monkey To Man

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
Such an arrogant brood
The only purpose you serve is to bring us our food
We sit here staring at your pomp and pout
 A7
   Outside the bars we use for keeping you out
 B7
    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
           A7
It's been     headed this way since the world began
When a vicious creature took the jump from Monkey to Man
E   E7  A  B7
            Monkey to Man

   Every time man struggles and fails
He makes up some kind of fairytales
After all of the misery that he has caused
    A7
He      denies he's descended from the dinosaurs
 B7
    Points up to heaven with cathedral spires
All the time indulging in his base desires
Ever since we said it
He went and took the credit
           A7
It's been      headed this way since the world began
When a vicious creature took the jump from Monkey to Man
E   E7  A  B7
            Monkey to Man
 D      A
   Big     and useless as he has become
          D  A
With his       crying statues and his flying bomb
 D       A
   Goes    'round acting like the chosen one
Dsus
      Excuse us if we treat him like our idiot cousin
 E
   He hangs up flowers and bells and rhymes
Hoping to hell someone's forgiven his crimes
Fills up the air with his pride and praise
        A7
He's a      big disgrace to our beastly ways
 B7
    In 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 credit
           A7
It's been     headed this way since the world began
When a vicious creature took the jump from Monkey to Man
