Ballad Of The Monkeys Lyrics by Mantits

The Pursuit of Happiness

0

Please wouldn't do, nor would gunshots make a sound
Monkeys were born onto the spinning rock
There in the dark, black void
With a question and a thumb
To build and to dream
And to kill and wonder why it is
Some were well hung, and some hung themselves as well
All of them only wanted to be heard
There in the dark, black void
All spat on and ignored
They would brush themselves off
And get back out again to fight:
'Look at how fast I can juggle antelopes!'
'Look at how wise I am and how mature!'
(there in the dark black void)
'I'm building little shapes, piling high, so high
Casting shadows on the rest of you!'
In roll the tanks to defend the monkey gold
Monkeys will die by thousands for fantasies
There is the dark black void
So frightened and alone
Bleeding now, dying here
To be free and understood and back home
And none of the monkeys would ever know why they're building and breathing
And why the pain would never leave
And why the killing goes on
And why or where they're going
In their little monkey towns, on the spinning rock
In the dark, black void
