Here they come, talkin' down on me
I get the funniest looks 'cause I said I don't believe
They say we were monkeys
They think they're saying something profound
But where's their missing link at? There weren't any bodies found

They built a man from a hog's tooth-They called a lie the truth
And any time they get busted- They sell you something new
They say we were monkeys
I think that they've been monkeyin' around
Cause they're too busy changin' their books and their studies 'round
They're just tryin' to defend it- they got a lot to re-explain
Where they've done excavation, they keep uncoverin' mistakes

Any time or any where- just look over the boulders
you'll see that man's been there
They say we were monkeys
I think their heads are stuck in the ground
Cause they're too busy diggin' and putting the Bible down

(spoken:) Java Man was the skull of a gibbon
Nebraska Man was the tooth of a pig and
the Pitdown Man was a low down sham
They built that man form an orangutang
Ramapithics wasn't complete he's a fragment of jaw and a couple of teeth
additional skeletons show us today that he isn't our relative- only an ape
Australapithicus alias Lucy the fossil of this was just bague and confusing
the wonderful knee bone they're proud to possess
was 200 feet deeper- a mile from the rest
Neanderthal Man was prob'ly deficient
in Vitamin D of it might've been rickets
but he had religion and musical instruments
fire and tools and from you he's no different

(sang:) They say we were monkeys
But people came from dust in the ground
But they're too busy thinkin' to look into what we've found
They're just kinda pretending,
