Just Smart Monkeys

**Verse 1:** We were swinging in the trees, so carefree, Just another day in the canopy, Banana peels and laughter in the breeze, Never thought we'd trade it for misery. **Pre-Chorus:** But we got curious, we got brave, We came down and started to crave, All the things that we didn't need, Now we're drowning in our own greed. **Chorus:** We were monkeys who got too smart, Lost the rhythm of a beating heart, Now we're tangled in anxiety, Trapped in our own society. Oh, we should have stayed up in the trees, Living simple, living free, Now we're burdened by our minds, Just a clever kind of blind. **Verse 2:** We built cities made of stone and steel, Chasing dreams that never feel real, Always running, but we're standing still, Trying to climb a higher hill. **Pre-Chorus:** We left behind the jungle's grace, For a concrete, frantic race, Lost the wisdom of the wild, Now we're just a lonely child. **Chorus:** We were monkeys who got too smart, Lost the rhythm of a beating heart, Now we're tangled in anxiety, Trapped in our own society. Oh, we should have stayed up in the trees, Living simple, living free, Now we're burdened by our minds, Just a clever kind of blind. **Bridge:** Look at what we've made, a world so grand, But we can't hold it in our hands, We're just chasing shadows, lost in thought, Forgot the peace that nature taught. [Instrumental interlude] **Verse 3:** And now we live so long, it’s true, A blessing that's become a curse too, Endless years of fear and strife, Searching for the meaning of life. **Verse 4:** All we had to do was find food, Not get eaten, raise the brood, Swinging free, without a care, Now we're tangled in despair. **Chorus:** We were monkeys who got too smart, Lost the rhythm of a beating heart, Now we're tangled in anxiety, Trapped in our own society. Oh, we should have stayed up in the trees, Living simple, living free, Now we're burdened by our minds, Just a clever kind of blind. **Outro:** Swinging high, beneath the sky, Never asking how or why, We were monkeys, hearts so light, Now we go looking for the fight [Instrumental outro] [End]
