[01:49.54] |
The monkey sat on a pile of stone |
[01:57.42] |
And stared at the broken bone in his hand |
[02:03.89] |
Strains of a Viennese quartet |
[02:07.89] |
Rang out across the land |
[02:20.93] |
And the monkey looked up at the stars |
[02:26.50] |
And he thought to himself |
[02:29.48] |
Memory is a stranger |
[02:34.51] |
History is for fools |
[02:40.44] |
And he cleaned his hands |
[02:42.58] |
In a pool of holy writing |
[02:47.25] |
Turned his back on the garden |
[02:49.60] |
And set out for the nearest town |
[02:54.31] |
Hold on hold on soldier |
[03:01.23] |
When you add it all up |
[03:03.37] |
The tears and the marrowbone |
[03:08.06] |
There's an ounce of gold |
[03:10.36] |
And an ounce of pride in each ledger |
[03:14.08] |
And the Germans killed the Jews |
[03:17.14] |
And the Jews killed the Arabs |
[03:19.09] |
And the Arabs killed the hostages |
[03:20.79] |
And that is the news |
[03:25.98] |
And is it any wonder that |
[03:28.83] |
The monkey's confused |
[03:31.73] |
He said Mama |
[03:34.28] |
The President's a fool |
[03:36.12] |
Why do I have to keep reading |
[03:38.46] |
These technical manuals |
[03:42.62] |
And the joint chiefs of staff |
[03:44.71] |
And the brokers on Wall Street said |
[03:46.43] |
Don't make us laugh |
[03:48.02] |
You're a smart kid |
[03:49.61] |
Time is linear |
[03:51.46] |
Memory is a stranger |
[03:53.35] |
History is for fools |
[03:54.60] |
Man is a tool in the hands |
[03:57.40] |
Of the great God Almighty |
[03:59.45] |
And they gave him command |
[04:01.80] |
Of a nuclea submarine |
[04:03.71] |
And sent him back in search of |
[04:06.66] |
The Garden of Eden |
