The power of reason, the top of the heap
We`re the ones who can kill the things we don`t eat
Sharper than a serpent`s tongue
Tighter than a bongo drum
Quicker than a one-night stand
Slicker than a mambo band
And now the day is come
Soon he will be released
Glory hallelujah!
We`re building the Perfect Beast
(Building, building, etc.)
It`s Olympus this time - POOlympus or bust
For we have met the enemy - and he is us
And now the day is come
Soon he will be released
Glory hallelujah!
We`re building the Perfect Beast
(Building, building)
Ever since we crawled out of the ocean and stood upright on land
There are some things that we just don`t understand:
Relieve all pain and suffering and lift us out of the dark
Turn us all into Methuselah-
But where are we gonna park?
(Building, building)
The secrets of eternity-
We`ve found the lock and turned the key
We`re shakin` up those building blocks
Going deeper into that box-(Pandora wouldn`t like it)
And now the day is come
Soon he will be released
Glory hallelujah!
We`re building the Perfect Beast
(Building, building)
All the way to Malibu from the Land of the Talking Drum-
Just look how far - look how far we`ve come
