lyrics

When the monkey time comes, we'll all just swing from the trees.

Tall teen anarchists, come circle up your wagons,
certain silver scientists will bring on Armeggedon,
while local tinder texts diss nude vacancy rates
and occupy your home town is the new cheap date.

Well, I remember in 1984,
when everyone expected a third world war
and the best job you could get paid only minimum wage.
Somehow, we survived to see this new clear age.

When the monkey time comes, we'll all just swing from the trees.

Top hat plutocrats all grok the status quo,
always saying "everyone!" to "Who do you know?"
Well, I remember this guy on a horse,
spying Lady Liberty, he just said, "Of course!"

When the monkey time comes, we'll all just swing from the trees.
