Lyrics
Here are the words to the first track on my first recording: Breakfast
Animals
‘been tryin’ to be a good man
‘been tryin’ to be the best form of higher primate that I can
They say we’re animals
Sometimes I’m not so sure
Would an animal tend to take more than his share and turn that Clear blue sky into a smoky blur?
Oh, animals...take what they need, when they need it,
and animals...do what they have to, when they have to
We’re not animals...
Well, I’ve been watchin’ politicians
I’ve been listenin’ to the Pope
So many people out there dyin’ of complacency, an’
Hopin’ all you need is hope
And while I know we-are a-mong-the many moving creatures that hath life
Sometimes I think we’d show a little more compassion to our brothers, our sisters, and our wives
Oh, animals...do what they want to, when they want to,
and animals...say what’s on their mind, if they say anything at all
We’re not animals...
Yesterday we was discussin’...this silly little thing that we have
You reminded me ‘we’re animals,’ and said I ‘ought to feel glad’
But sometimes I think that if I truly was a child of the wild I would not wait around
I’d kick down your door, grab you by the hair, and lay you right there on the warm bare ground, 'cause
Animals...do what they want to, when they want to, and
Animals...do what they feel like, if they feel like,
when they feel like, and
Animals...go where they wanna go, any time they feel like goin’...and
Animals...say what’s on their mind, if they say anything at all...
