Watch the monkey get hurt, monkey!

Considering the minor hit by peter gabriel, Shock the Monkey, a mildly interesting, catchy song: what is it "about"? My limited knowledge of the lyrics makes me think that it might be a song about vivisection, and "our" complacent "acceptance" of it. or rather, the song is an indictment of "society's" complacency in the face of cruelty. Am i even close, or is it just a fun goofy little pop song with a catchy phrase & hook? Anybody got the lyrics?
And didn't he release the singe in German too? McFreeze, any german comments?
