It seems the Apparitions were so kind to write the soundtrack for this thread with their song God Monkey Robot!
In a distant city a long time ago
In a tiny office with a tiny window
There was a monkey on a wheel
And while the monkey was running
He started to wonder how far had he gone
How much further to go, the TV came on
It was his favorite show
A documentary, off-beat comedy
About a man starring in his own lobotomy
They took the man, they put him in space
Left him there just to watch his face
The man and the monkey their minds went blank
They were both watching reruns
The ratings were great
And it seemed, it all seemed so easy
It would always be
In a distant city, it was a modern jungle
Where the monkey could swing through the canopy
Above the collated copies of obsolete floppies
Florid in a brand new flourescent botany
These were the robots growing free
To do the things that the monkey needs
And they left no evil for the monkey to speak
And there was plenty of food for the robots to eat
So it seemed, it all seemed so easy
The way that things should be
In a hidden location, a distant place
God was watching, and God was great
So he decided to send the angel in
To end it all and begin again
The brain-dead spaceman watched in vain
Waiting for a hero who never came
Cause all the monkeys were stripped apart
The robots died of broken hearts
And the angel, Oh, the angel sang
Over and over again
First there was God
Then came the monkey
Then came the robot
And on and on amen! |
