This is to the tune of... Blister in the Sun by the Violent Femmes
and i shall entitle it
Les Singes S'Amusent Plus
We're all working just for the cash
No one's in for love

Let me go home
This is blistering my thumbs
Might be evolved
Les singes s'amusent plus
While i bleed machines don't sleep
It just keeps ticking on
Nine to five Dead of the night
Mirror image of life
Let me go home
This is blistering my thumbs
Might be evolved
Les singes s'amusent plus
We're all working just for the cash

Author notes
OK so i may have screwed up the rhyme and syllable perfection in a place or two but at least i got it in in time... Oh and "Les Singes S'Amusent Plus" means "monkeys/apes have more fun" to save you to save you translating it.

C'est l'une des meilleures poésies que j'ai jamais lues
mes lignes préférées étaient:
We're all working just for the cash
No one's in for love
Lost in translation from dict-a-ted
Orders from above
Il fait la remarque pour prendre notre propre décision et pour embrasser la vie et pour ne pas devenir emprisonnée dans l'avarice et l'excès.
Il fait une énorme remarque dans cela pour toute notre évolution que nous avons détruit la capacité de s'arrêter et apprécier vraiment la vie est détruit avec nous. Les Singes S'Amusent Plus
Cette poésie est un triomphe !

We' re all working just for the cash
No one' s in for love

It makes remark to make our own decision and to embrace life and not to become imprisoned in avarice and excess.
It makes a huge remark in it for all our evolution that we destroyed the capacity to stop and appreciate life really
thanks
