Dance Monkey Dance
I don't know what I'm here for
Thought I had a plan
Thought I was my own man
All the signs I can't ignore
Like a flash in the pan
Lost before it began
How did I land here
Am I to blame
For who I became
Thoughts that won't disappear
A tainted aim
Feelings of shame
It's the privilege of a lucky few
To not have to do things they don't want to do
(Yeah) You got to know your place
Might be a victim of circumstance
Or running your own race
Whatever the case, just dance monkey dance
Let's pretend this thing is vital
It's an easy way
To get through the day
'cause open eyes might be too frightful
So keep collecting your pay
To keep the fear at bay
Have you gotten over the humiliation
That you once used to feel
When forced to kneel
Might be the head of the organization
You're such a big deal
With godlike appeal
You might be the king of it all
But it doesn't matter when reality calls
(Yeah) You got to know your place
Might be a victim of circumstance
Or running your own race
Whatever the case, just dance monkey dance
Do you know what time it is?
It's time to Dance Monkey! Dance!
(Yeah) You got to know your place
Might be a victim of circumstance
Or running your own race
Whatever the case, just dance monkey dance
(Yeah) You got to know your place
Might be a victim of circumstance
Or running your own race
Whatever the case, just dance monkey dance
(Yeah) You got to know your place
Might be a victim of circumstance
Or running your own race
Whatever the case, just dance monkey dance
Thought I had a plan
Thought I was my own man
All the signs I can't ignore
Like a flash in the pan
Lost before it began
How did I land here
Am I to blame
For who I became
Thoughts that won't disappear
A tainted aim
Feelings of shame
It's the privilege of a lucky few
To not have to do things they don't want to do
(Yeah) You got to know your place
Might be a victim of circumstance
Or running your own race
Whatever the case, just dance monkey dance
Let's pretend this thing is vital
It's an easy way
To get through the day

It's time to Dance Monkey! Dance!
(Yeah) You got to know your place

Or running your own race
Whatever the case, just dance monkey dance
(Yeah) You got to know your place

Whatever the case, just dance monkey dance
(Yeah) You got to know your place
Might be a victim of circumstance
Or running your own race
Whatever the case, just dance monkey dance
