Desde os primórdios
Até hoje em dia
O homem ainda faz o que o macaco fazia
Eu não trabalhava, eu não sabia
Que o homem criava e também destruía
Homem primata
Capitalismo selvagem
Ô ô ô
Eu aprendi
A vida é um jogo
Cada um por si
E Deus contra todos
Você vai morrer e não vai pro céu
É bom aprender, a vida é cruel
Homem primata
Capitalismo selvagem
Ô ô ô
Eu me perdi na selva de pedra
Eu me perdi, eu me perdi
I'm a cave man
A young man
I fight with my hands
With my hands
I'm a jungle man, a monkey man
Concrete jungle!
Concrete jungle!
