Sheriff Sneed he come from Monkeytown

With orders from the TVA

Bust everyone at the Watts Bar Nuclear Plant

Even if they ain't in the way

60 Earth First!ers jailed in Monkeytown

In a drunk tank and two little cells

Banged on the walls and stole a camera lens

Raising all kinds of hell

Chorus

John Scopes trial was held in Monkeytown

Where evolution was a crime

But that's 'cause family trees in Monkeytown

All grow in a straight line

Judge McKenzie's kin to Sheriff Sneed

His mother screwed his cousin so they say

Earth First! gonna move to Monkeytown

So we can screw the TVA

Double first cousins so they think

Earth First! gonna win in Monkeytown

'Cause we are the missing link
