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 (help us)
But they don't have no tear ducts
So their face can't tell the tale
In the heart of the jungle
Just trying to stay alive (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 them what these apes are worth
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

They can't cry
