the monkeys want to be free

The peanuts on the plate

The monkeys will take

They can't complain

Better than go hungry

But the gold they miss

The glitter flow in their eyes

The minds will dream of it

The missing bridge to the mine

Once the monkeys

Ruling the jungle of the streets

Hopping from tree to tree

House to house feeling free

Until they are tricked

Into the cage of peanuts on the plate

There the monkeys are caged

Lost its freedom and the joy

Now occasionally the monkey dance

On the fortune tellers game of looking into the future

With cards they pick for the gullible people who seek

The fortunes they wish to lay their hands

But the monkeys want to be free

Until now peanuts on the plate

They can't complain

Better than go hungry
