We Are All Animals

[Verse 1] We are the animals Who have lost our hair Retained some of our teeth And gained a choice We'll chase food, money and sex Until satisfied And when its time to rest Ask "what's next?" [Refrain] We are all animals We are all animals We are all animals We are all animals [Chorus] Well i'ts hard enough to retain control When our instincts are egging us on Biologists and chemists reducing our souls To four letters And when we think about it We're like a masterpiece Who's glimpsed the artist [Verse 2] We are the machines Carrying our various genes Then discarded When the job is done We are the disciples Who have lost our way Kicked from our pedestal when Darwin burnt the book [Refrain] We are all animals We are all animals We are all animals We are all animals [Chorus] Well it's hard enough to retain control When our instincts are egging us on Biologists and chemists reducing our souls To four letters Will genes replace Genesis? We're like a masterpiece Who's glimpsed the artist [Bridge] We like to think we're at a special place The stars revolve around the human race But we're just mammals, just primates Like chimps or gorillas We see the hair on our face And look at another primate You and I, we relate [Outro] We are all animals We are all animals We are all animals We are all animals We are all animals We are all animals We are all animals We are all animals
