A long time ago, our point of view
Was broadcast by Mr. Bartholomew
And now the world is full of sorrow and pain
And it's time for us to speak up again
You're slack and sorry
Such an arrogant brood
The only purpose you serve is to bring us our food
We sit here staring at your pomp and pout
Outside the bars we use for keeping you out
You've taken everything that you wanted
Broke it up and plundered it and hunted
Ever since we said it
You went and took the credit
It's been headed this way since the world began
When a vicious creature took the jump from Monkey to Man
Monkey to Man
Every time man struggles and fails
He makes up some kind of fairytales
After all of the misery that he has caused
He denies he's descended from the dinosaurs
Points up to heaven with cathedral spires
All the time indulging in his base desires
Ever since we said it
He went and took the credit
It's been headed this way since the world began
When a vicious creature took the jump from Monkey to Man
Monkey to Man
Big and useless as he has become
With his crying statues and his flying bomb
Goes 'round acting like the chosen one
Excuse us if we treat him like our idiot cousin
He hangs up flowers and bells and rhymes
Hoping to hell someone's forgiven his crimes
Fills up the air with his pride and praise
He's a big disgrace to our beastly ways
In the fashionable nightclubs and finer precincts
Man uses words to dress up his vile instincts
Ever since we said it
He went and took the credit
It's been headed this way since the world began
When a vicious creature took the jump from Monkey to Man

Elvis Costello, pseudonimo di Declan Patrick MacManus (Londra, 25 agosto 1954), è un cantautore, chitarrista e compositore britannico considerato uno dei più influenti artisti della musica pop-rock degli ultimi decenni. Iniziò la sua carriera negli anni settanta come esponente della scena pub rock londinese, prima che il suo nome venisse associato ai movimenti punk e new wave della seconda metà degli anni '70. Costello è noto per le sue canzoni intelligenti, spesso caratterizzate da testi sarcastici e ironici, che affrontano temi sociali, politici e personali con una profonda sensibilità. La sua musica combina elementi di rock, pop, folk, jazz e reggae, creando un sound unico e riconoscibile. Tra i suoi album più importanti figurano *My Aim Is True* (1977), *This Year's Model* (1978) e *Armed Forces* (1979). Costello ha collaborato con numerosi artisti di fama internazionale, tra cui The Attractions, Burt Bacharach e Paul McCartney. Alcuni dei suoi brani più celebri includono "Alison", "Pump It Up", "Everyday I Write the Book" e "(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes".
