Lyrics
Like the monkey who wrapped his tail around the flagpole The one who burned his asshole Explaining that, what a hassle That's what you get For carrying a grinder's cup Wearing a hat with a tassel Hang it around the castle
The monkey's our cousins Some are almost men 96% the same, if not better than But the species differ from us in that Some have no tails None of us has one
Rapspierre believes jack up the car Jack up the car Rapspierre believes jack up the car Jack up the car
Baby gets bored with the sociality Of the Bohemian rump of the petit-bourgeoise Bar-flies and dandies swarming on shit Public enemies, exquisite gobs of spit Compradores, Judases, devil spawn Entrepreneurial pains in the ass Capitalist pawns
Standing on the backs of the underclasses To reach high enough to stick their noses into the asses Of those they service, the creators of the masses The bourgeoise, the ruling classes
The makers of progress and history The driving force behind modernity They that profit most From the toil of the masses The bourgeoise, the ruling classes
How many stairs must a man walk down Before he can be called a man
