You Blew it Up Dr. Zaius Lyrics

Oh, Dr. Zaius, you're the most powerful sage

Saying humans are better erased from the page

Keeper of secrets, in the forbidden zone

You guard damning truths etched in stone

You blew it up, oh what a mess

Man is a nuisance, nothing less

It's a question of simian survival, indeed

Humans are a menace we don't need

A walking pestilence, that's quite the line

As you read from scrolls of an ancient time

Man can be domesticated, you've decreed

But your science and faith, never concede

In the courtroom of apes, you hammer it down

There's no contradiction, you say with a frown

Yet secrets you're guarding tightly in your grip

As your simian civilization is starting to slip

You blew it up, oh yes you did

Hidden so deep, all the things you forbid

Laughing in secret at the ironies you weave

Oh Dr. Zaius, what else's up your sleeve

You call it a war of survival, I call it a game

In the ruins of humanity, who's really to blame

With a wag of your finger, a shake of your head

You decide if humans are better off dead

You blew it up, and you think you've won

But look around, see what you've done

"It's a question of survival," or so you say

But who's surviving at the end of the day

Look now, Dr. Zaius, as the curtain pulls away

See the world reborn from the ashes of dismay

You blew it up, the wicked legacy you've spun

It's time to answer for all that you've done
