Lyrics

Animals

An animal, you're an animal
Don't take anything less
Out of control, you're out of control
Strike those in distress

Analyse, advertise, expand
Bend more rules
And buy yourself an island

Animals, we're animals
Buy when blood is on the street
Out of control, we're out of control
Crush those who beg at your feet

Analyse, franchise, spread out
Kill the competition
And buy yourself an ocean

Amortise, downsize, lay off
Kill yourself
Come on and do us all a favor
