It's wild in the jungle, there's enough for everyone

The monkeys know what to leave, what to take

They've fooled around so long now they've forgotten how to play

They don't know what is real, what is fake

The drumbeat is relentless, everybody's in a trance

Day and night there's no escape from the dance

It used to be such good fun but now someone's rigged the game

No-one knows exactly who to blame

We're the monkeys with all the bananas

And we're hiding in front of your eyes

We're the monkeys with all the bananas

And you love to believe all our lies

We didn't like to see other monkeys playing free

There were bananas growing everywhere

So we cut down all the trees. Now they beg us please

To work for one banana a day

They're spending all our tokens, it gives them foolish notions

They believe they have the freedom to choose

We print money out of nothing, we make them give us something

They can't win, there's no way we can lose

We own everything, it's not enough, there's so much more we need

Control of everything you do and say

We spend ten times more for each of you than what you have yourself

We wouldn't have it any other way

We've made it all so complicated no-one understands

All the sneaky rotten things we've done

If the crooked dancing stops our system will fall down

Nobody loves us, we're frightened and alone
