Kappa - John Daniel

If I could speak my mind
I would better articulate the things I need
But I'm not that advanced, I'm only an ape
If you prick me, do I not bleed?

I feel like a new John Daniel
A King Kong man in a world evolved beyond me,
A primitive thing at home in the grass
With a new world's weight levelled upon me

(John Daniel)
I'm only walking on my hind legs in a suit
(John Daniel)
A raison d'etre's as good as a piece of fruit
I'm only chasing simple pleasures with a simple mind
I'm just a simple being of a simple kind

"I am flowers, animals"
Are the thoughts that escape my grunting mouth and gesturing hands
"Man stupid! Man stupid!"
I huff out my nose to anyone who can understand

You sign me a question like "Are we not men?"
And I wouldn't even know where to start
All levels but physical, I'm an old world beast
With a Brassau penchant for art

(John Daniel)
I'm only walking on my hind legs in a suit
(John Daniel)
A raison d'etre's as good as a piece of fruit
I'm only chasing simple pleasures with a simple mind
I'm just a simple being of a simple kind

He makes his bed and drinks his tea
Just like a real homo sapiens
He plays with the kids and he goes to school
Just like a real hairless ape, he yearns

He looks in the mirror and copies his friend
Maybe he knows as much as you can know
More than can be seen with a prehensile mind
But he's still looking for a natural home

He makes his bed and drinks his tea
Just like a real homo sapiens
He plays with the kids and he goes to school
Just like a real hairless ape, he yearns

He looks in the mirror and copies his friend
Maybe he knows as much as you can know
More than can be seen with a prehensile mind
But he's still looking for a natural home
