The Monkeys Have Landed

The monkeys have landed out on the street
Singing ooby dooby flashing pearly teeth
You better run, you better hide
Better tell your baby to quit believing all these lies
The monkeys have landed twisting up the facts
Tearing down that highway in you know whose Cadillac
Call in the cameras strike up the band
Prostitute your city and rape all your land
The monkeys have landed

The monkeys have landed right on TV
Shaking tits and ass and getting what they need
Scream bloody murder, petition the courts
Call yourself an election but you'll always be a vote short
The monkeys have landed throwing money around
Buying up lawmakers and the sacred grounds
Watch people sway watch people swoon
Dancing all night to that latest monkey tune
The monkeys have landed

The monkeys have landed ain't no doubt
Call up the cops and ship the bums out
Poison the rivers, poison the air
What does it matter when nobody cares
The monkeys have landed out on the shore
Blacken your windows baby bolt up your doors
Gonna rob your culture steal your banks
Build themselves a shopping mall and bring back ole Hank
The monkeys have landed

The monkeys have landed with God and love
Looking down from those billboards from so high above
Everything is good, everything is great
Don't even notice the bleeding, the blood that they take
The monkeys have landed bring the cats in
Let the dogs howl let the fun begin
They're swinging from the left, swinging from the right
You ain't swinging with them babe
You can kiss your ass goodnight
The monkeys have landed

The monkeys have landed what more can I say
I did my best but they blew me away
