We Are All Animals

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 animalsWell, it's hard enough to retain control

When our instincts are egging us on

Biologists and chemists

Reducing our soulsTo 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 bookWe are all animals

We are all animals

We are all animals

We are all animalsWell, it's hard enough to retain control

When our instincts are egging us on

Biologists and chemists

Reducing our soulsTo 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, primatesLike chimps or gorillas

We see the hair on our face

And look at another primate

You and I, we relateWe are all animals

We are all animals

We are all animals

We are all animalsWe are all animals

We are all animals

We are all animals

We are all animals
