Too Much Monkey Business - Milli Vanilli

We are here today, Mr. Secretary-General

Determined that no such fate shall befall the United Nations

We are determined that the UN

Should succeed and serve the cause of peace for humankind

So, Mr. Secretary-General, we realize that

(Too much monkey business)

Even in this time of hope

The chance of failure is real

(Too much monkey business)

But this knowledge does not discourage us

(Too much monkey business)

It spurs us on

For the stakes are high

(Too much monkey business)

Do we falter and fail now

And bring down upon ourselves the just anger

(Too much monkey business)

Of future generations?

Or do we continue the work of the founders of this institution?

…and that this place, this floor

Shall be truly the world’s last battlefield?

I think it’s devastating

Really, what’s going on

Some people lack in caring

What’s wrong or right

I think of homeless people

Who beg for food and money

I know the bottom line

Is something ain’t right now

…the chance of failure is real

This knowledge does not discourage us

It spurs us on

Too much monkey business

One has work to do

Too much monkey business

Conquers part of you

…is enshrined and humanity knows war no longer
