Various Artists - Monkey To Man - Elvis Costello & The Imposters Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • 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 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
  • 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
  • Every 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 dinosaurs
  • 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
  • It's been this way since the world began
  • When a vicious creature took the jump from Monkey to Man
  • Big 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 out idiot cousin
  • He hangs up flowers and bells and rhymes
  • Hoping to hell that someone's forgiven his crimes
  • Fills the air with his pride and his praise
  • He's big disgrace to our beastly ways
  • 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
  • It's been this way since the world's began
  • When a vicious creature took the jump from Monkey to Man
