Fresh look, a new scene
On the cover of a magazine
We see it changin everyday
Uptown, fast cars
Wanna be a Hollywood movie star
And now you think you've got it made
Follow the leader
You're waiting on the line
For someone to teach you
The way to live your life
No deal, no dice
Everybody's gotta pay the price
In this town nothing comes for free
Dead broke, sky high
Now you're looking for a alibi
What you want ain't always what you need
Follow the leader
You're waiting on the line
For someone to teach you
The way to live your life
Monkey see, monkey do
Over and over again
You follow the best
You look like the rest
You ain't got a clue
Monkey see, monkey do
Do this, do that
See the man on the T.V. set
He's preachin money is the way
Well I've had my feel
One more poor, dressed to kill
It's getting tougher every day
Follow the leader
You're waiting on the line
For someone to teach you
The way to live your life
Monkey see, monkey do
Over and over again
You follow the best
You look like the rest
You ain't got a clue
Monkey see, monkey do
They want it all
They want it fast
They want it easy
So out of touch
It's not enough
It's never pleasin'
It's what we need
The American dream!
Monkey see, monkey do
Over and over again
You follow the best
You look like the rest
You ain't got a clue
Monkey see, monkey do
Monkey see, monkey do
Over and over again
You follow the best
You look like the rest
You ain't got a clue
Monkey see, monkey do
Monkey see, monkey do
