We Stupid Apes

Came down from the trees, left the comfort of leaves.
We stupid apes.
Set forth from the forests, earth's first tourists.
We stupid apes.
Lost all our hair, 'cept our eyebrows, and there.
We stupid apes.
Invented religion, needed an explanation.
We stupid apes.
Forgot how nice it feels to help clean each others fleas.
We stupid apes.
Made each other endangered, suspicious of strangers.
We stupid apes.
Living in cages, separate from nature.
We stupid apes.
Know it's stupid, but keep on doin' it.
We stupid apes.
Such evolved primates, changing the climate.
We stupid apes.

But we still have time, to change this rhyme,
to love and stop hurting each other.
So no more stupid apes, enough is enough,
look after the earth, she's your mother.
