This is a great DMB song that many people overlook. I love the last couple lines..."I wonder do I want the simple, simple life that I once lived in well
Oh things were quiet then
In a way they were the better days." To me this song could be about evolution and primates and stuff. But on a simpler level it's about moving onto to new and different experiences, but still being able to stay yourself. Before the monkey left he was like all the rest, but after "going to the city" he becomes proud. This song is all about knowing who you are and being able to experience new and different things. A solid DMB song, one of the best. DMB forever!
