Lyrics for Song: Monkey Man 
Lyrics for Album: Uh-Oh [1992]
  
               
  9536>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
 
 
  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
  D.N.A. and evolution
  Slide on down
  Say goodbye civilization
 
 
  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
 
 
  Like a snake
  I will strike without a warnin'
  Holy cow
  Someone pinch me, am I dreamin'?
 
 
  Monkey man
  Let's get back to where we started
  Slide on down
  Evolution's goin' backwards
