(You Must Fight to Live) On the Planet of the Apes Lyrics

I landed on a planet
not unlike my own.
Men were caged like beast
monkeys free to roam.
Soldier apes on horseback
soldier apes on foot.
Learned apes with orange hair,
give you dirty look.

Well you must fight to live,
You must fight to live,
You must fight to live,
You must fight to live,
On the planet of the apes!

Try and fight one ape
and much to my shagrin.
He began to speak to me
so I began to listen.

Well you must fight to live,
You must fight to live,
You must fight to live,
You must fight to live,
On the planet of the apes!

Realise this was terran soil.
This was to be man's fate.
Monkeys treating me like shit.
You stinking apes, you filthy apes.

Learn all their customs.
Never tell them no.
Ape shall not kill ape.
God help those who do.

You must fight to live,
You must fight to live,
You must fight to live
On the planet of the apes

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
