Jacques Brel de apen les singes

Long before them, long before those bald people
Then we, flower and birds, were wonderfully free
But ever since they came, flowers have been in a pot
The birds are in a cage, they decide us fate
For they, they invented the crook and the prison
The criminal records, and the little keyhole
And their long scissors censored the press
The monkeys, the monkeys
br/>The monkeys, away from here
The monkeys, the monkeys
The monkeys, away from here
Long before them, then the man was a prince
The woman was a princess, love's pet child
But since they came the prince has been a beggar
The empire dies out and the princess becomes a commodity
For they, they found out of love that dishonors
That love that is a business, the slave trade
The gangsters with their air of cleanliness
And from then on they were shot
The monkeys, the monkeys
The monkeys, here from around here
The monkeys, the monkeys
The monkeys, from around here
Long before them there was still peace on earth'
The freedom of person was still a lot worth
But since they came they have succeeded
That reason of state has chased away reason
For they, they invented from that pointed bayonet
The napalm and atomic bomb, the guided missile
They have the brainwashing and highly learned
And from then on they have been civilized
The monkeys, the monkeys
The monkeys, from around here
The monkeys , the monkeys
The monkeys, from around here
