Did the Monkeys Take Over the Zoo
From Moscow to Manhattan
From the east right to the west
As they sit around their tables so important
Making judgements that criticize the rest
Be they christian Jew or Muslim
Or to whatever god they pray
Do they listen to the people all around them
Do they listen to a single word they say
And they say
Blah de blah de blah de blah
(That's what they say)
Blah de blah de blah de blah
Blah de blah de blah de blah (yeah)
Blah de blah de blah de blah
Can't they see what lies
Ahead in the distance
Don't it seem there's nothing
That we can do (oh no no)
And don't you feel
There's no use in futile resistance
And say what do you think
Did the monkeys take over the zoo?
Another conflict on the border
Can't they agree to disagree
Are they trying to establish new world order
While we're wat ching people die on the TV
As they throw our millions
And billions around
It's austerity or bust
And it seems that money is the new religion
Are these the people in whom we trust
As they say
Blah de blah de blah de blah
(Yeah that's what they say)
Blah de blah de blah de blah (hmm yeah)
Blah de blah de blah de blah (blah de blah de blah)
Blah de blah de blah de blah
Can't they see what lies ahead in the distance
Don't it seem there's nothing that we can do (oh no no)
Say don't you feel there's no use in futile resistance
And say what do you think; did the monkeys take over the zoo?
