Animal City

Why do all my friends now want to be your lovers?

Your family got bigger when they thought you were rich

And now like maniacs

They scratch your back

Even when it doesn't itch

I want to figure it all

I want to figure it all out

I want to save you from

Save you from all that's vain

Save you from the things that cause us pain

'Cause it's an animal city

It's a cannibal world

So be obedient, don't argue

Some are ready to bite you

It's an animal city

It's a cannibal world

So be obedient, don't argue

Some are ready to bite you, my love

They believe you now have everything you wanted

And once you have become a star

You've got no right to bitch

But someday when you fail

They'll put you on sale

And buy you by the inch

But you're the real deal

And 'real' is your middle name

You know, sometimes I feel

Got to earn every breath we take, baby

Never mind the rules we break

'Cause it's an animal city

It's a cannibal world

So be obedient, don't argue

Some are ready to bite you

It's an animal city

It's a cannibal world

So be obedient, don't argue

Some are ready to rip you right off

With you I feel safe

There's nothing to fear from us

Away from the fangs, the fangs of the world

I may be a coward, but you are brave

And nothing seems so dangerous

'Cause it's an animal city

It's a cannibal world

So be obedient, don't argue

Some are ready to bite you

It's an animal city

It's a cannibal world

So be obedient, don't argue

Some are ready to rip you right off

Cannibal world

Cannibal world

Cannibal world

Cannibal world

So be obedient, don't argue

Some are ready to bite you, my love
