That's what I need to
get off my chest
Check it, punk as I'm
monkey flippin'
With the funky rhythms I be kickin'
The clock on the time bomb is ticking away
So get a move on
Hands up for the question
Shall I proceed?
Yes indeed! 2003, it really seemed to me
An independent folk was rarer
than a useful degree
Now 2004, more than ever before
We have to ask us in this supplement
And to see what we saw
in these sensationalised lies
Fuck the facts, they're full of shit
like the bargain rel at TK Maxx
In fact, back in the Stone Age
people worshipped the sun
And after 20 ,000 years
you might have thought
that we'd have moved on
From the start of the Daily Mail
it's just like Skate, go kitchen,
mine count with pictures
You think that immigrants
all hang around in mobs
Outside our workplace
is a way to steal our jobs
Give me a bloody job
Honky please, go trim your bonsai trees
I better give you these for brain disease
It's such an irony that
when you're unwell
You ask for pa tient medication,
I've got to pretend, no then
They say, seek and ye shall find
Never dibby dibby when
the tape I rewind
They say, open your mind
Blinded following the
blood is just like
Monkey, monkey, monkey
See monkey do
And that's what they do
They read the media
And Wikipedia
You tell them what they want
to hear
and they believe you
Doctor, doc tor,
I'm experiencing a major malady
It's an actual allergy to TV
and it skews me
But don't we seem to be glued to it
We're sucking second -hand ex
periences through it
We're sold in live centres
dressed up as a lifestyle
To have the guile to rile,
cute like sheep in single file
To buy the latest piece of shit,
parading through our libraries
Believe the latest twisted facts and crap
We give it, it goes in, it goes on,
this media mind manipulation
Prescribing the day -to
-day life of our nation
As the spotlight highlights what it likes
It mixes up the truth
with the lies in the half -life
Police camera action
is based on the assumption
That the cops are never wrong
Shows them like a pen of a truth
among the sick public
So think, we can't look after ourselves
This is now, not a story
by George Orwell
They say, seek and ye shall find
Never dibby dibby when
the tape I rewind
They say, open your mind
Blinded following the plan is just like
Monkey, monkey, monkey
See monkey do
And that's what they do
They see the media
And Wikipedia
Showing what they want to
see
and they believe ya
So why we sit around and
laugh at the old?
How come we always
gotta follow the new?
People act like they don't know
I gotta wonder now if they do
Say boop, say the man them
read it in the magazine
Say boop, say the man them
see it on the TV screen
Say boop, say trade in one for another
They come in one year
then they go out the other
If you could see the you that
I see when I see you
Say me then you'd see it all
so differently, believe me
Hear me say, seek and you shall find
Blind to follow when the
blind is just like
Monkey, monkey, monkey
See monkey do
And that's what they do
They read the media
And Wikipedia
You tell them what they want to hear
and they believe
Monkey, monkey, monkey
See monkey do
I see me see you
If you could see the you that I see
when I see you see me
Then you'd see yourself so differently,
believe me
Yes
Thanks for watch ing, time.
