This song heavily samples a speech from President Ronald Reagan at the United Nations about landmines, given on September 26, 1988. Additionally, while this is not evident on the original release on “All or Nothing”, the cash register rhythm lead-in of the song implies it was meant to follow Money,...
We are here today, Mr. Secretary-General
Determined that no such fate shall befall the United Nations
We are determined that the UN
Should succeed and serve the cause of peace for humankind
So, Mr. Secretary-General, we realize that
(Too much monkey business)
Even in this time of hope
The chance of failure is real
(Too much monkey business)
But this knowledge does not discourage us
(Too much monkey business)
It spurs us on
For the stakes are high
(Too much monkey business)
Do we falter and fail now
And bring down upon ourselves the just anger
(Too much monkey business)
Of future generations?
Or do we continue the work of the founders of this institution?
...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
...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
...is enshrined and humanity knows war no longer
