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
