Swen Van Zanten - Monkeys Are Our Cousins Lyrics

Nowadays they say
They say I can't decent
From no monkey
No monkey no way
No way oh no way

But when you apply some science
You will find that were really family
Faraway relatives
Monkeys are our cousins

(Monkeys are our cousins)

Instead of some study
They claim arks and other nonsense
Which can only be explained
With magic oh with magic

But when you apply some science
You can't find any evidence
Not without any magic
Could it be your truth is wrong

But when you apply some science
You will find that were really family
Faraway relatives
Monkeys are our cousins

(Monkeys are our cousins)
(Monkeys are our cousins)
(Monkeys are our cousins)

People often ask me
If we're descended from chimpanzees, how come there are still chimpanzees
Well we're not descended from chimpanzees
We're both descended from a common ancestor, who lived there, about 6 million years ago
We are all cousins
