Richard Graber - The Tale of the Pale Ape (feat. Navardo) Lyrics

Have you ever wondered why injustice does exist
A tale that happened long ago came up through the mist
Once there was a monkey ancestor of a man to be
Events occurred that changed this ape for all eternity
A bitter cold fell on the land from ice they all did flee
For any forthright monkey the equator was where to be
The warmth the food and water nurtured social colonies
The long forgotten start of our great societies

This is the tale. Tale of the pale. Tale of the pale ape
This is the tale. Tale of the pale. Tale of the pale ape
|
It was nature's way to find one day a birth profound indeed
There lay an infant pale as ice from normal family
This ape was like all other apes except for a couple of things
Into this world with fur of white and eyes of pink it brings
This mutant birth caused quite a stir news far and wide did spread
Many apes from north and south came to see its all white head
Now darks apes were the common way where pale was rare to see
Another birth of all white fur removed the novelty

This is the tale. Tale of the pale. Tale of the pale ape
This is the tale. Tale of the pale. Tale of the pale ape

Mysterious to many eyes this pale hot property
Reverence shown the pale ape pair brewed lurking jealousy
Attention changed the attitude of apes with skin so fair
There came the day when the big king ape couldn't tolerate this pair
So insecure and threatened was the ape that ran the show
The point was finally reached the pale apes had to go
So one dark night the order came to cause the pair to flee
That one event set into motion bitter irony

This is the tale. Tale of the pale. Tale of the pale ape
This is the tale. Tale of the pale. Tale of the pale ape

Separate from their colony and driven to glaciers north
They survived by brains and cleverness and brought more offspring forth
Selective generation made the pale ape numbers grow
For predators would eat the ones dark against the snow
They lived by wits the dumb ones died the story we would know
The world warmed up and gave these apes more places they could go
Now science gave us Newton with the second law of motion
Religion gave the golden rule with reprisal as the notion
So just remember those that hate and judge by premonition
What goes around comes around beware of your ambition
The dark ape ruled and set the stage and history took its toll
The table has turned since that day around the water-hole

This is the tale. Tale of the pale. Tale of the pale ape
This is the tale. Tale of the pale. Tale of the pale ape
