Monkey Business
Unraveling Humanity's Monkey Business
Lyrics
Another cat amongst the pigeons
Introducing a disruptive element or troublemaker in a situation.
Another spanner in the scheme of things
Adding complexity or difficulty to existing plans or arrangements.
I don't know why it shakes him up so much
Expressing uncertainty about the impact on someone and why it bothers them.
He's so out of touch with me
Describing a person who is emotionally distant or disconnected.
It isn't easy finding something new
Acknowledging the challenges of discovering something new.
The Bible bashers beat you black and blue
Referring to criticism from religious individuals (Bible bashers).
Fire and brimstone raining down on you
Depicting intense criticism or punishment, possibly metaphorical.
But do you know it's true
Prompting reflection on the truth of a situation.
They know what they can do
Suggesting defiance against the criticism received.
Monkey Business, Mankind
Introducing the concept of "Monkey Business" and its impact on humanity.
I've got a theory that'll blow your mind
Presenting a groundbreaking theory that challenges conventional thinking.
Monkey Business, you'll see
Reiterating the disruptive nature of "Monkey Business."
I got you swinging from tree to tree
Imagining people metaphorically swinging from tree to tree due to this disruption.
I'm never sure about what they want
Expressing uncertainty about others' intentions.
They put their collars on back to front
Commenting on the unconventional or backward behavior of some individuals.
They've got their answers and they don't like mine
Noting the resistance to alternative viewpoints.
But I'm only trying to help
Clarifying the intention of offering assistance despite resistance.
They say I should be full of shame and dread
Describing societal expectations of shame and disapproval.
They point at Genesis and shake their heads
Referring to the biblical book of Genesis as a point of criticism.
They don't know what it is that makes them tick
Highlighting a lack of understanding of personal motivations.
But I've views for them and it's not so romantic
Suggesting alternative perspectives that may not be romanticized.
