Lyrics

Slow Animals

You don't have to be so loud
Everyone can hear you in this whole damn crowd
You don't have to try so hard
I think they got the message, you were out of your mind
It's not so good to see you this upset
But the next generation will forget
They're always scared of where their daughter's been
'Cause who knows? She could be alone with men
They never wanna see or hear or think about again
Is it gone?
I hope that nothing's wrong
Is it gone?
I hope that nothing's wrong
Oh, please don't try to lick my face
Everyone can see that you're a psycho in this place
The next generation will forget
Where their daughters' been
Or who knows, they could be alone with men
They're never gonna let you understand
Or show you what is to be a man
You don't wanna sit down and think or hear
You don't think anyone is in your ear
I never wanna see your face
Accuse, it's no one's fault
Is it gone?
I hope that nothing's wrong
Is it gone?
I hope that nothing's wrong
Is it gone?
I hope that nothing's wrong
Is it gone?
I hope that nothing's wrong
They're always scared of where their daughter's been
'Cause who knows? She could be alone with men
They never wanna see or hear or think about again
Is it gone?
I hope that nothing's wrong
Is it gone?
I hope that nothing's wrong
