Listen to the monkeys
In their board rooms
In their bedrooms
Their short life
The most important thing
Chatter, chatter,chatter

Praise the industrial muse
Chainsaw song
Sledgehammer rhythm
The steady drone
As monkeys drive metal monsters
Greenback stampede
Chatter, chatter, chatter

The earth screams
Lost habitat
Lost species
Lost life
Another statistic
In the monkey's ledger
Chatter, chatter, chatter

Prehistoric lesson
Genes come, genes go,
Time remains the same
A star dies ten million years away
It's last gasp bathing
A monkey's eye in glory
Chatter, chatter, chatter

Listen to the monkeys
In their gardens
In their slums
Their short life
The most important thing
Chatter, chatter, chatter.
