I think I'm sophisticated, cause I'm living my life [E] like a good homo sapien.
[A] But all around me everybody's multiplying [E] and they're walking around like flying man.
[D] So I'm no better than the animals [A] sitting in their cages in the snow man.
Cause compared to the flowers and the birds and the [E] trees, I am an [A] ape.

But give me half a chance and I'll [E] be taking off my clothes and [Em] living in the jungle.
