lyrics

Am I just an animal
I'd like to face the animals
But I can't face the animals
If I still hurt the animals
Let's face the animals

'Cause I'm an animal
Just an animal
Just an animal
Just an animal

It's not in the plan at all
Wild order to the planet full
Plants are planned for all of us
I'll rant until I turn to dust
The world gave everything a place
If you're not in a gracious base
The time you have is full of waste
Don't carry that disgrace
Face your space

'Cause you're an animal
'Cause I'm an animal
Just an animal just an animal
Just an animal just an animal
Just an animal just an animal

These baby beings are like you
'Cause you were once a baby too
You didn't have your cheery voice
Your arms weren't strong to make a choice
Fish and fowl and pig and cow
They're crying in the here and now
And every dollar that you spend
That's their beginning or their end
The suffering creates dark wealth
That's so destructive to our health
I am casting off the spell
Because I have to face myself
This is hard sense in a soft shell
It's love and logic can't you tell
For you and them I have to yell
Why can't we help out all the hell

'Cause you're an animal
'Cause I'm an animal
Just an animal just an animal
Just an animal just an animal
Just an animal just an animal

Don't let it wear on you
Don't let it feed your truth
Don't use it and you won't be used
I will not vote for this abuse

Don't wear the animals
Don't eat the animals
Don't use the animals

It doesn't matter if your mother
Or your brother or some others
Say that you should do this too
Because that's just what we all do
When you recognize a wrong
You shouldn't keep singing the song
Bet you knew it all along
The throng is not where you belong

You're just an animal
I'm just an animal
Let's face the animals
Let's save the animals
Let's save the animals
