Right in Two by Tool.
It's all good but here's a juicy verse:
"Monkey killing, monkey killing monkey over pieces of the ground.
Silly monkeys, Give them thumbs, they make a club To beat their brother down.
How they've survived so misguided is a mystery.
Repugnant is a creature who would squander the ability To lift an eye to heaven, conscious of his fleeting time here."
This is the song that first came to mind for me. I was only in high school but this song taught me so much. It had never been put into words to me like that. I've always carried the meaning with me and it still breaks my heart to watch the world constantly cut it all right in two.
--Don't these talking monkeys know that Eden has enough to go around?
Plenty in this holy garden, silly monkeys Where there's one, you're bound to divide it...
Right in two--
