| Lyrics: | The Kinks: Apeman
--
I think I'm sophisticated 'cause I'm living my life
like a good homo sapiens
But all around me everybody's multiplying and
they're walking
round like flies man
So I'm no better than the animals sitting
in the cages in the zoo
man
Cause compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees
I am an
apeman.
I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilized
'cause I'm a strict
vegetarian
But with the over-population and inflation and starvation
and the crazy
politicians
I don't feel safe in this world no more,
I don't want to die in a nuclear
war.
I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an apeman.
I'm an apeman,
I'm an ape, apeman, oh I'm an apeman
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodo man, oh I'm an
apeman
Cause compared to the sun that sits in the sky,
Compared to the clouds as they
roll by,
Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies I am an apeman.
In man's
evolution he's created the city
and the motor traffic rumble.
But give me half a chance
and I'd be taking off my clothes
and living in the jungle.
Cause the only time that I
feel at ease
Is swinging up and down in the coconut trees.
Oh what a life of luxury to be
like an apeman.
I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman, oh I'm an apeman
I'm a King Kong
man, I'm a voodo man, oh I'm an apeman
I look out the window but I can't see the sky,
The
air pollution is a-fucking up my eyes,
I want to get out of this city alive and make like an
apeman.
Oh come on and love me, be my apeman girl
And we'll be so happy in my apeman
world.
I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman, oh I'm an apeman
I'm a King Kong man, I'm
a voodo man, oh I'm an apeman
I'll be your Tarzan, you'll be my Jane,
I'll keep you warm
and you'll keep me sane,
We'll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day, just like an
apeman.
I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman, oh I'm an apeman
I'm a King Kong man, I'm
a voodo man, oh I'm an apeman
I don't feel safe in this world no more,
I don't want to
die in a nuclear war.
I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an apeman |
