John Mccutcheon - Monkeys lyrics

I went to school this morning It was the first day of the year Took out my paper and my pencil And I opened up my mind and my ears The teacher said, "Now students take your places "Everybody settle in your desk "The first cla** in going to be science "Gonna use the Bible as our text." Chorus There ain't no monkeys in you There're none in me, I know And there ain't no monkeys in Kansas 'Cause the school board to me so So let's get rid of Pythagoras Relativity and all the rest Cause if you can't find it in Genesis It ain't gonna be in our test Chorus Now, the land is flat in Kansas As anyone can see And if the school board says that the world is flat Well, that's good enough for me Chorus Every culture has a way to see creation Each religion has a version of its own So if you aren't Christian or Jewish You better hope Kansas ain't your home Chorus I've learned that faith is one thing And knowledge is something else One doesn't rule the other one out As Einstein said himself Chorus Now, God gave us intelligence And God he gave us brains But I guess he ran just a little bit short On that school board on the plains Chorus
