Too Much Monkey Business lyrics

[Spoken:]

We are here today, Mr. Secretary-General, 

determined that no such fate shall befall the 

United Nations. We are determined that the U.N. 

should succeed and serve the cause of peace 

for humankind. So, Mr. Secretary-General,

we realize that, even in this time of hope,

the chance of failure is real. 

But this knowledge does not discourage us; 

it spurs us on. For the stakes are high.

Do we falter and fail now and bring down 

upon ourselves the just anger of future generations? 

Or do we continue the work of the founders 

of this institution? 1

Too much monkey business    

Too much monkey business    

Too much monkey business    

Too much monkey business    

[Spoken:]

...and that this place, this floor, 

shall be truly the world's last battlefield?

I think it's devastating,

really, what's going on.

Some people lack in caring

what's wrong or right.

I think of homeless people

who beg for food and money.

I know the bottom line

is something ain't right now.

[Spoken:]

...the chance of failure is real.

This knowledge does not discourage us.

It spurs us on.

Too much monkey business.

One has work to do.

Too much monkey business  

conquers part of you.

[Spoken:]

...is enshrined and humanity knows war no longer.
