From moscow to manhatta n
From the east right to the west
As they sit around their tables so importa nt
Making judgements that criticise the rest
Be they christia n jew or muslim
Or to whatever god they pray
Do they liste n to the people all around them
Do they liste n 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 (hmm)
Blah de blah de blah de blah (yeah)
Blah de blah de blah de blah
Can't they see what lies
Ahead in the dista nce (hmm)
Don't it seem there's nothi ng
That we can do (oh no no)
And don't you feel
There's no use in futile resista nce
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 austerit y 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 dista nce (hmm)
Don't it seem there's nothi ng that we can do (oh no no)
Say don't you feel there's no use in futile resista nce
And say what do you think; did the monkeys take over the zoo?
Oh, oh, oh
Can't they see what lies ahead in the dista nce (hmm)
Don't it seem there's nothi ng that we can do (oh no no)
And don't you feel there's no use in futile resista nce
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?
