when the monkey took the jungle
he grabbed a ripe banana and he used it as a hammer
and he built himself a cross
and all the other monkeys, they held onto the young ones
and they told them not to worry
and they told him what he'd done
oh but i
felt much worse, felt much worse, felt much worse, oh
i've felt much
and he went right to the highway
stood upon the overpass and in his head he did the math
of the women that he loved
and he thought about his children
and how he'd never see them because the state judicial system they told him she had won
oh but i, seen much worse
seen much worse, i seen much worse
oh, i seen much
and he saw the ground was falling
and sky was getting higher, and in his hand started a fire
and he threw a fireball
but land was made of water, and the ball was just a dud
and it hit me with a thud, and it took out all my blood
oh but i, felt much worse
felt much worse,
oh i felt much
and the monkey lost the fight
because he never did what's right
and he fell just like a leaf, onto the black street
and he never seemed to twitch
when they all called him a dirty bastard
and the monkey must evolve because he never tossed a ball
so he gathered all he had and he
fell a little faster
we have walked for miles and miles
sun goes up and the sun goes down
sun goes up and the sun goes down again
we have learned from the math in books
because we add it up and divide by two
add it up and divide by two again
