[Verse 2] Why is it we don’t see Our own blatant foolishness The things we do to fill our time Oh the silly insignificance How easily that we conform? We settle right in to the daily norm [Chorus]
EmUse the matter, don’t be a bobbing A7head Flex the grey mush 'tween the ears DTake the step that sets us apart EmUtilize and then we can begin to rA7ealize
Grant it some thought and
DTake it not no no no EmStand up doesn’t just drift along A7Think about the goings on DAnd use the 24 that come every morn Emuuuh la la la, A7uuuh la la la, Duh uh ah ah uh uh ah
[Verse 3] Scream and holler jump and run I watch them then the mirror shows Fools all well I guess its true Monkey do and we will too All the wars we are waging Are leading us to caging [Verse 4] The spirit we sought to free Its what’s driving us back up the tree. Down, out, forward and up you say? Well I question the supposition of your position On four we would crawl Now on two we just stall. [Chorus]
EmUse the matter, don’t be a bobbing A7head Flex the grey mush 'tween the ears DTake the step that sets us apart EmUtilize and then we can begin to rA7ealize
Grant it some thought and
DTake it not no no no EmStand up doesn’t just drift along A7Think about the goings on DAnd use the 24 that come every morn Emuuuh la la la, A7uuuh la la la, Duh uh ah ah uh uh ah
[Verse 4] What is this impediment in our way That stumbling block is our ignorance Power of thought, blessing or curse Well from our actions we look the worse We carelessly take human life Yet we care not cause it’s not I [Verse 5] I wonder is it all that obscure We’re looking like the State of Nature If we keep this up I dare say its true There will be no more of me and you What happened to the rule made of gold? We’ve turned it into the bought and sold [Chorus]
EmUse the matter, don’t be a bobbing A7head Flex the grey mush 'tween the ears DTake the step that sets us apart EmUtilize and then we can begin to rA7ealize
Grant it some thought and
DTake it not no no no EmStand up doesn’t just drift along A7Think about the goings on DAnd use the 24 that come every morn Emuuuh la la la, A7uuuh la la la, Duh uh ah ah uh uh ah
[Verse 6] We who have the opposable thumb Look at all the things we’ve done We’ve built towers that stand so tall And we’ve cloned a cell so small Somehow, somewhere along the march We gave up on the soul search [Verse 7] Who’s further up in the chain Surely those with the contemplative brain We who understand the use of manners And we who can discern right from wrong Yet we still exhibit primeval traits And our antics are a shame
