We Are All Animals Lyrics

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?"

We are all animals
We are all animals
We are all animals
We are all animals

Well, it's 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
Whose glimpsed, the artist?

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

We are all animals
We are all animals
We are all animals
We are all animals

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
Whose glimpsed the artist?

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

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
