Lyrics

I'm just a monkey with a big ass brain
Caught in a battle with my DNA
Over controlling the decisions I take
Provisions I make to honour the behaviour I wanna display
I'm sick of thinking with my dick all the time
And always trying to protect what's mine
I got a feeling that there's more to life
Than replicating my genes and then protecting the family line
'Cause this mind of mine has now developed to the point where I'm
Aware of my instinctive reactions in time that I can choose to change
And rearrange the way that my mainframe considers how to play the game
And if I'm playing the game for the fame and success
I'm only gonna wind up stressed and never give it my best
Because I'm too busy trying to get my name in the press
And get the girls undressed
What does it mean to be a human being?
Tell me is it really no more than it seems?
Am I really no more than the sum of my genes?
Won't somebody tell me please?
'Cause I've really got to know
So I can see which way to go
I'm feeling like I'm losing my control
A little ego in a monkey suit
Barely moved on from the chunky suit
When the competition began
Back when being a man was just a possibility
Contained in the inorganic multitude
But now we're moving on
Social evolution is the movie song
That sets the next scene where we get to dream
What it means to be a human being
And if you disagree prove me wrong
Because for way too long we've been living a lie
Given white lies since you was knee high
Over simplified replies to your
Who am I? What am I? Where am I? Why?
But nobody knows any more than you do
So don't ask nobody what it means to be you
'Cause you are unique, yes a freak of nature
Made to break away from your own creator 'cause
You've got your own mind
And you can use it any way you like
You know
You've got your own life
You can use it any time
Now what does it mean to be a human being?
Tell me is it really no more than it seems?
Am I really no more than the sum of my genes?
Won't somebody tell me please?
'Cause I've really got to know
So I can see which way to go
I'm feeling like I'm losing my control
So what does it mean?
Like really at the fundamental level of being
What is the plot of this incredible scene?
'Cause I've been looking for the truth since I was fifteen
Big themes for a kid with big dreams
But the battle of genes is old hat now
Today the tussle of ideas is the battleground
People giving us our dreams from the top down
Next generation of teens to get locked down
What now?
You wanna play this game?
Drop this name?
Looking up at people 'cause they got this fame?
You wanna take a better look at yourself mate
Before you suffocate in your self hate
'Cause fear is a lead weight
The sooner you lose it the quicker you can elevate
Your head state, vacate the deck wait
Try to figure out a way of liberating your own fate
Before it's too late
Now what does it mean to be a human being?
Tell me is it really no more than it seems?
Am I really no more than the sum of my genes?
Won't somebody tell me please?
'Cause I've really got to know
So I can see which way to go
I'm feeling like I'm losing my control
What does it mean to be a human being?
Tell me is it really no more than it seems?
Am I really no more than the sum of my genes?
Won't somebody tell me please?
'Cause I've really got to know
So I can see which way to go
I'm feeling like I'm losing my control
