monkey business

another cat amongst the pigeons
another spanner in the scheme of things
I don't know why it shakes them up so much
they're so out of touch with me

it isn't easy finding something new
the bible bashers beat you black and blue
fire and brimstone reigning down and you
but you know it's true
they know what they can do

monkey business
mankind, I got a theory that will blow your mind
monkey business, you'll see
I got you swinging from tree to tree

I'm never sure about what they want
they put their collars on back to front
they've got their answers, and they don't like mine
I'm only trying to help

they say I should be full of shame and dread
they point at Genesis and shake their head
they don't know what it is that makes them tick
I've news for them, and it's not so romantic

monkey business
mankind, I got a theory that will blow your mind
monkey business, you'll see
I got you swinging from tree to tree
monkey business
mankind, I got a theory that will blow your mind
monkey business, you'll see
you got an ape in your family tree

we don't want monkey business

we don't want monkey business

monkey business
mankind, I got a theory that will blow your mind
monkey business, you'll see
you got an ape in your family tree
monkey business
mankind, I got a theory that will blow your mind
monkey business, you'll see
I got you swinging from tree to tree
