Music: Christopher Lennertz
Once they ruled the Sahara
Where the emerald grasslands swayed
A majestic primate
Whose legend starts to fade
Beating their chests in sadness
You will hear them as they wail
But they don't have no tear ducts
So their face can't tell the tale
If we don't tell the stories
Of how they swing from tree to tree
we'll forget their simian glory
And make a monkey out of you and me
You can't tell they're hurting
Cause their eyes stay dry
Inside, they’re suffering in solitude
Chimps don't cry
No chimps don't cry
In the heart of the jungle
Just trying to stay alive
It takes more than just bananas
For a species to survivе
Now they play little cymbals
On the cornеr for all to see
It's time to take a stand for what evolved to man
Who will save the chimpanzee?
Hunted to mount like trophies
Or a gorilla circus act
More than some comic sidekick
There's just no turning back
You can't tell they're hurting
Cause their eyes stay dry
Inside, they're suffering in solitude
Chimps don't cry
No chimps don't…
The pirates and the hunters
Wanna pillage and rape the Earth
Gotta sing this song for the real King Kong
And show what these apes are worth.
You can't tell they're hurting(You can't tell they're hurting)
Cause their eyes stay dry(Cause their eyes, cause their eyes, cause they're eyes stay dry)
Inside, they're suffering in solitude
Chimps don't cry
No chimps don't cry
They can‘t cry
