Monkey See Monkey Do - Thunder

Feel the paranoia all around you

The Emporor’s new clothes

Well no-one realy knows

On the fence there’s no where left to sit

Through Never-Never Land

The bland all lead the bland

And it makes me wanna cry

When we let the music die

But it’s all about control

And I know

If it don’t fit the picture

It don’t make the show

God bless the corporation

But there’s a line you gotta toe

And a risk ain’t an option

For someone like you

Monkey see, monkey do

At your time of life you should be leading

Not cowering in the dark

Jump when you think you see a spark

Bit it’s easier having no opinion

When all you do is wait

For somebody else to make mistakes

So you watch it from the wings

And just before the fat lady sings

That’s when you’re in there like a shot

Strike like it’s hot

And it’s a self fulfilling prophesy

You sat and you waited

Then you grabbed the glory

And everyone below you

Will grab the glory too

Monkey see, monkey do

When the sun goes down on you big-hitters

Cos the balance sheet’s a slap, when kids won’t pay for crap

And you centemplate it for a moment

Diminishing returns were all that you deserved

You might have got some off the ground

But nothing you did ever stuck around

And I wonder where you’ll go, I don’t know

I don’t know

But if it don’t fit the picture

It don’t make the show

God bless the corporation

But there’s a line you gotta toe

And a risk ain’t an option

For someone like you

Monkey see, monkey do

And everyone below you

Will claim the glory too

Monkey see, monkey do
