Story Behind the Song
It's just some ideas from Conspiracy theory!
Lyrics
The Hundredth Monkey (Bard of Ely)
(Words Bard of Ely Music Ed Drury)
If you don't want to live in a Sc-fi nightmare
With micro-chipped citizens, bar-coded under their skin
And you don't want to be a numbered slave to a computer,
Then, don't you let the Beast outside come in.
The Work of Ages has manipulated many,
Political puppets lead the unwary with their lies;
Beaten down by fear and guilt and programming,
Watching out for retribution from the skies.
The churches have filled many minds with scary stories,
With all this violence you'll need Big Brother looking after you:;
You know it's all being done with your interests in mind
And the spy in the sky watches everything you do.
So find comfort in your friend the friendly TV screen,
Get zombiefied with all the inmates of this zoo,
Beware of alien intervention in the real X-Files;
Dreams have a way of actually coming true.
Wake up, wake up and find out what is happening,
Join the others, who are making a turnabout,
There's always hope that we can change the future;
The Hundredth Monkey is discovering our way out.
