We are stardust, we are golden
We are blood and shit and urine
We are gods - or are we animals?
Alike unfit to sink or soar
Evolving right out of my skin I'm reaching for
Survival resting on the herd's protection
A frantic free for all race for affection
The stray cannot survive the elements
With neither strength nor wit
To go alone in confidence
A desperate bid to please our peers, we sing and dance
The Ape, The Ape, The Ape
All the ape wants is to be accepted
member of the tribe
and not to be rejected
all the ape wants is to be accepted
that's my only objective
So when the zombies come, just give me the gun
I wasn't meant for running, I was meant for fun
If the oceans rise, give me the cyanide
I got no special skills to help the herd survive
I can sing a little song around the fire
Am I lovable enough to come along for the ride
Will I be insulated by the strong on the outside
will the poets and the prophets be left behind
When it's back into survival mode and the ape in the genetic code
All the ape wants is to be accepted
member of the tribe
and not to be rejected
all the ape wants is to be accepted
that's my only objective
