Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It happened one night when Odie was high,
He opened his mouth, no he wasn't shy,
He said "I have an urge to go outside,"
"And to jump around in my natural prime."
[Verse 2]
"My clothes are too tight and my brain overloaded,
I wanna swing in the vines!" and he so did.
He jumped on a car and screamed with glee,
"I'm returning to nature and ya'll can't stop me!"
[Verse 1]
It happened one night when Odie was high,
He opened his mouth, no he wasn't shy,
He said "I have an urge to go outside,
And to jump around in my natural prime."
[Verse 2]
"My clothes are too tight and my brain overloaded,
I wanna swing in the vines!" and he so did.
He jumped on a car and screamed with glee,
"I'm returning to nature and ya'll can't stop me!"
[Chorus]
Reject Modernity! - "Become Monkey!"
Reject Humanity! - "Become Monkey!"
Reject Obscurity! - "Become Monkey!"
Reject Prosperity! - "Become Monkey!"
[Verse 3]
He hit the streets runnin', no looking back,
Out on his own, on a one-way track.
He said, "This jungle's concrete, and I climbed to the peak,
I'm the king around here, call me Odie the unique."
[Verse 4]
Threw his watch to the wind, cellphone too,
He's beating his chest, under skies so blue.
Passersby laugh, but they just don't see,
He's living his truth, wild and free.
[Chorus]
Reject Modernity! - "Become Monkey!"
Reject Humanity! - "Become Monkey!"
Reject Obscurity! - "Become Monkey!"
Reject Prosperity! - "Become Monkey!"
[Bridge]
In a suit and tie, but now he's untamed
Odie's movin' on up in his own hall of fame
Banana for lunch, no status quo
He's swingin' from streetlights, putting on a show
No more deadlines or daily grind
He found his freedom, left it all behind
From boardroom jungles to urban trees
He found his rhythm, and he's living the breeze
[Chorus]
Reject Modernity! - "Become Monkey!"
Reject Humanity! - "Become Monkey!"
Reject Obscurity! - "Become Monkey!"
Reject Prosperity! - "Become Monkey!"
