Lyrics

Back from the war
Covered in red, white, and blue
So here I am
But I got nowhere to go
Heaven help you now
Heaven help you now
Monkey man
This is not Garden of Eden
Take a look
Who will eat and who gets eaten?
Oh, oh
Saturday night
I'm gettin' out of my head
Who's laughin' now?
You should be runnin' my friend
Heaven help us now
Heaven help us now
Monkey man
DNA and evolution
Slide on down
Say goodbye civilization
Oh, oh
A hundred miles an hour in my mind
And there you go
Out of control into the promised land
And down we go
Monkey man
Are we just some weird mutation?
Oh, my mind
Lead me not into temptation
Oh, oh
Like a snake
I will strike without a warnin'
Ahh
Holy cow
Someone pinch me, am I dreamin'?
Monkey man
Let's get back to where we started
Whoa
Slide on down
Evolution's goin' backwards
Oh, oh
