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?

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?

I said say what do you think; did the monkeys take over the zoo?

Say what do you think; did the monkeys take over the zoo?
