Chimps Don't Cry

"Chimps Don't Cry" is a song performed by the Crimson Countess, intended to promote an upcoming attraction at the Voughtland amusement park, Crimson Countess' Chimp Country. 
==Lyrics==
Once they ruled the Sahara,
Where the emerald grasslands swayed.
A majestic primate
Whose legend starts to fade.
Beating their chests in sadness,
You will hear them as they wail. (Help us!)
But they don't have no tear ducts,
So their face can't tell the tale.
In the heart of the jungle,
Just trying to stay alive, (Alive!)
It takes more than just bananas
For a species to survive.
Now they play little cymbals
On a corner for all to see,
It's time to take a stand for what evolved to man.
Who will save the chimpanzee?
Hunted to mount like trophies,
Or a gorilla circus act,
Or just some comic sidekick.
There's just no turning back.
You can't tell they're hurting
'Cause their eyes stay dry.
Inside, they're suffering in solitude.
Chimps don't cry.
No, chimps don't . . .
The pirates and the hunters
Wanna pillage and rape the earth.
Gotta sing this song for the real King Kong
And show them what these apes are worth.
You can't tell they're hurting (You can't tell they're hurting.)
'Cause their eyes stay dry. ('Cause their eyes, 'cause their eyes, 'cause they're eyes stay dry.)
Inside, they're suffering in solitude.
Chimps don't cry.
No, chimps don't cry.
(spoken) They can't cry.

==Trivia==
*The video for this song is available on YouTube, and is credited as "written, performed and directed by Crimson Countess."
*The lyrics of the song are rife with factual errors.
**"Once they ruled the Sahara," Chimps are not indigenous to the Sahara. They live in western and central Africa, and prefer rain forests, or at least regions where forested areas are quickly accessible.
**"Where the emerald grasslands swayed."The Sahara is a desert, not a grassland.
**"Beating their chests in sadness . . ."Although gorillas beat their chests as an act of aggression, chimpanzees do not.
**"But they don't have no tear ducts, . . ." Chimps, like all primates, have tear ducts, but their tear ducts serve only to lubricate and clean the eye. Unlike humans, they do not shed tears when distressed.
**"Chimps don't cry." Chimps, like most primates, can cry, if crying is defined by emitting certain vocalizations that co-occur with distressing situations. However, humans are the only primates that shed tears when crying.
**"It's time to take a stand for what evolved to man." Contrary to popular belief, humans did not evolve from chimpanzees. However, humans and chimpanzees (including the bonobos) did evolve from a common great ape ancestor roughly eight million years ago. Chimpanzees and humans evolved simultaneously; one species is not descended from the other.
