Monkey See, Monkey Do

Punkers I monkey flip em, with the funky lyrics I be kickin

The clock on, the time bomb is ticking away

So get a move on, hands up for the questions

Shall I proceed? Yes indeed

In 2003 it really seemed to me

An independant thought was rarer than a useful degree

Now 2004 and more than ever before,

we have to ask a Sunday Supplement to see what we saw

They sensationalize lies, Fuck the facts

They're full of shit like the bargain rail at TK Maxx, in fact

Back in the stone age people worshipped the Sun

After 20 thousand years you might have thought that we'd have moved on

From the Star to the Daily Mail its just like

scapegoat fiction, Mein Kamph with pictures

They think that immigrants all hang around in mobs

Outside our work places and wait to steal our jobs

Honky please, Go trim your bonsai trees

I'd better give you these for brain disease

Its such an irony that when you're unwell

You ask for patient medication off of Dr Patel knob head

They say, seek and ye shall find

Never dibbi-dibbi when the tape-a rewind

They say, open your mind,

Blind are following the blind its just like

Monkey, monkey, monkey, see monkey do

And thats what they do

They read the media

And what they're feeding ya

You tell em what they want to hear and they'll believe ya

Doctor Doctor, I'm experiencing a major malady

Yes an actual allergy to TV and excuse me,

But don't we seem to be glued to it?

We're sucking second-hand experiences through it

We're sold a life sentence dressed up as a lifestyle

Don't have the guile to rile

Queue like sheep in single-file

To buy the latest piece of shit paraded through your living room

Believe the latest twisted facts

We crack, we give in, it goes on this media mind-manipulation

Prescribing the day to day life of our nation

As the spot-light highlights what it likes

And mixes up the truth with the lies in the half-life

Police, Camera, Action is based on the assumption

That the cops are never wrong

Presents them as a pillar of truth amongst the sick public

So thick, we can't look after ourselves

This is now, not a story by George Orwell

They say, seek and ye shall find

Never dibbi-dibbi when the tape-a rewind

They say, open your mind,

Blind are following the blind its just like

Monkey, monkey, monkey, see monkey do

And thats what they do

They see the media

And what they're feeding ya

You show em what they want to see and they'll believe ya

So while we sit around and laugh at the old

How come we always gotta follow the new?

People act like they don't know

I gotta wonder now if they do

Say Boops say the mandem read it an a magazine

Say Boops say the mandem see it on a TV screen

Say Boops say trading one for another

They come in one year then they go out the other

If you could see the you that I see you see me

Then you'd see yourself so differently believe me

Hear me say, seek and ye shall find

Blind are following the blind its just like

Monkey, monkey, monkey, see monkey do

And thats what they do

They see the media

And what they're feeding ya

You tell em what they want to hear and they'll believe ya

Monkey, monkey, monkey, see monkey do

And thats what they do

If you could see the you that I see you see me

Then you'd see yourself so diffently believe me.
