Lyrics Facts Of Life - Talking Heads

Monkey see and monkey do
Makin' babies, eatin' food
Smelly things, pubic hair
Words of love, in the air
Sparks fly, shootin' out
Makin' sure that every thing is working
I can't turn you down
We are programmed happy little children
Matter over mind
We cannot resist so I won't fight it
Love is a machine
Love is a machine without a driver
Facts of life, facts of life
Masterpiece, biology
Smokey water, air conditioned
Boys 'n' girls and automation
Chromosomes, designer jeans
An' chimpanzees an' human beings
Machines of love, machines of love
Machines of love, machines of love
Strong in body, strong in mind
A love machine with the facts of life
Facts of life, facts of life
So much sex 'n' violence
Must be a bad design
We're stupid to be fightin'
Every night
The monsters we create
They welcome us aboard
The best in advertising
From coast to coast
The girls and boys combine
Like monkeys in the zoo
The clouds have silver linings
Looks pretty good
People fall in love like in fairy tales
I'm not sure I like what they can do
I'm afraid that God has no master plan
He only takes what He can use
Factory life, ice cream pie, factory life
Someday we'll live on Venus
Men will walk on Mars
But we will still be monkeys
Down deep inside
If chimpanzees are smart
Then we will close our eyes
And let our instincts guide us
Oh oh oh oh, no
