I landed on a planet Not unlike my own. Men were caged like beast Monkeys free to roam. Soldier apes on horseback Soldier apes on foot. Learned apes with orange hair, Give you dirty look. Well you must fight to live, You must fight to live, You must fight to live, You must fight to live, On the planet of the apes! Try and fight one ape And much to my shagrin. He began to speak to me So I began to listen. Well you must fight to live, You must fight to live, You must fight to live, You must fight to live, On the planet of the apes! Realise this was terran soil. This was to be man's fate. Monkeys treating me like sh**. You stinking apes, you filthy apes. Learn all their customs. Never tell them no. Ape shall not k** ape. God help those who do. You must fight to live, You must fight to live, You must fight to live On the planet of the apes
