lyrics

Apes

In the future we gonna live just like the jetsons did
Flyin cars robot maids and nannys
To look over our houses and kids
Sue me if im not progressing
Faster than the goin rate
And get yer stinking paws off me you damn dirty apes

Get yer stinking paws off me you damn dirty apes
I may have blasted in here from the past but this place don’t look so great
The economy is tragic …folks here are dumb as hell
They think as long as there’s an suv left that’s half full of gas they’re doin well

They’ve mortgaged up their soul for the latest I-device
Books and magazine aint made of paper now they’re made of tubes and wires
And when the power gets cut off and you know damn well it will
I’ll be reading Hemingway by candle light
And you’ll be standing still
In the dark
With your smartphone and your kindle
Rubbing them together just trying to make a spark

get yer stinking paws off me you damn dirty apes
You can call me old school or just say it’s sour grapes
Could be our generation will get
One big healthy slap
When Jesus Christ or mother nature drops a
Great big dose of reality …into our laps
Cause it’s a fact
That we’re not george jetson or jane his wife
And this world we’re makin
Aint no jetson kind of life

We’re all hapless wannabes all micro chips no class
Someday all those facebook posts are gonna bite you in the ass
It’s like we’re blasting to the future on some burned out roller skates
And I feel like Charlton heston in that movie with the apes
When he says
get yer stinking paws off me
get yer stinking paws off me
get yer stinking paws off me
get yer stinking paws off me
you damn dirty apes
