[00:00:11] A long time ago, our point of view

[00:00:18] Was broadcast by Mr. Bartholomew

[00:00:25] Now the world is full of sorrow and pain

[00:00:32] It's time for us to speak up again

[00:00:39] You're slack and sorry

[00:00:41] Such an arrogant brood

[00:00:46] The only purpose you serve is to bring us our food

[00:00:54] We sit here staring at your pomp and pout

[00:00:57] Outside the bars we use for keeping you out

[00:01:01] You've taken everything that you wanted

[00:01:05] Broke it up and plundered it and hunted

[00:01:08] Ever since we said it

[00:01:10] You went and took the credit

[00:01:11] It's been headed this way since the world began

[00:01:15] When a vicious creature took the jump from Monkey to Man

[00:01:33] Every time that man struggles and fails

[00:01:40] He makes up some kind of fairytales

[00:01:47] After all of the misery that he has caused

[00:01:51] He denies he's descended from the dinosaurs

[00:01:55] Points up to heaven with cathedral spires

[00:01:58] All the time indulging in his base desires

[00:02:02] Ever since we said it

[00:02:03] He went and took the credit

[00:02:05] It's been headed this way since the world began

[00:02:09] When a vicious creature took the jump from Monkey to Man

[00:02:31] Big and useless as he has become

[00:02:34] With his crying statues and his flying bomb

[00:02:38] Goes 'round acting like the chosen one

[00:02:41] Excuse us if we treat him like our idiot cousin

[00:02:45] He hangs up flowers and bells and rhymes

[00:02:52] Hoping to hell that someone's forgiven his crimes

[00:02:59] Fills the air with his pride and his praise

[00:03:03] He's big disgrace to our beastly ways

[00:03:07] In the fashionable nightclubs and finer precincts

[00:03:10] Man uses words to dress up his vile instincts

[00:03:14] Ever since we said it

[00:03:15] He went and took the credit

[00:03:17] It's been headed this way since the world began

[00:03:21] When a vicious creature took the jump from Monkey to Man
