lyrics

and so I find myself now here
in the Holocene
it’s just a word but
everybody thinks we’re great
except me
I don’t agree

yeah we got the power to do what we want
but that’s also true for a bull in a china shop
we’re gonna fight til the day that we die
I don’t know why but I’m here anyway to say

we monkies rule the roost now here in the Holocene
we do just what we choose cuz we got the selfish gene
every mammal knows don’t mess with those hominids
cuz you know we’re the star of the show - for now

whatever we do is whatever we choose
everyone wants it and everyone’s getting it
we wanna live where the ceiling protrudes
I’d rather hide in a hole but you know right now

we primates run the show right here in the Holocene
every mammal knows don’t mess with those hominids
we do what we choose cuz we got the selfish gene
and you know we’re the star of the show - for now

yeah we’re a biosphere unto ourselves
we’d rather be in charge than still around
so come and get your fill right now
cuz it’s only for a while that

we monkies rule the roost right here in the Holocene
we do just what we choose cuz we got that selfish gene
every mammal knows don’t mess with those hominids
cuz you know we’re the star of the show - for now
