Slave (Monkey See Monkey Do)

Monkey see monkey do
Just to feed me and you
Just survive 9 to 5
Churn it out half alive

Most everybody has to work to make a living
We call it living but it's really just existing
We're all consumers going round and round a circuit
We're born in slavery and we don't even see it

No way off, no way out
'Til you breathe your last breath and you head off to the checkout
Out of luck, out of line
And you wonder what's the point of all the shit that fills your time

Just keep moving, just keep walking
Just keep losing, just stop talking
Just keep eating, just keep drinking
Just keep tweeting, just stop thinking
Just keep plotting, just keep buying
Just keep watching, just stop trying
Just keep working, just keep staring
Just keep twerking, just stop caring

So everybody's looking for the answer to the question
Of how to jump the wheel without their own annihilation
Of how to reach the summit of this human rubbish dump so
When you're pissing down the hill everybody's looking up

Scratch, bite, claw, fight
We're in the jungle and there's something out there in the night
Dance, screw, drink, spew
To fill your days up 'cos there's nothing else for you to do

Monkey see, monkey do
Yeah we live and die as slaves and there is nothing we can do
Monkey see, monkey do
Yeah we live and die as slaves and there is nothing we can do

Monkey see, monkey do
Monkey see, monkey do
Monkey see, monkey do
Monkey see

Just keep moving, just keep walking
Just keep losing, just stop talking
Just keep eating, just keep drinking
Just keep tweeting, just stop thinking
Just keep plotting, just keep buying
Just keep watching, just stop trying
Just keep working, just keep staring
Just keep twerking, just stop caring

So everybody's looking for the answer to the question
Of how to jump the wheel without their own annihilation
Of how to reach the summit of this human rubbish dump so
When you're pissing down the hill everybody's looking up

Scratch, bite, claw, fight
We're in the jungle and there's something out there in the night
Dance, screw, drink, spew
To fill your days up 'cos there's nothing else for you to do

Monkey see, monkey do
Yeah we live and die as slaves and there is nothing we can do
Monkey see, monkey do
Yeah we live and die as slaves and there is nothing we can do

Monkey see, monkey do
Monkey see, monkey do
Monkey see, monkey do
Monkey see
