Animals
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Animals went in two by two
Just 'cause someone told them to.
Now they're living in a zoo
Baby, ain't that just like me and you?
Ain't you just like the animals
You do as you're told.
Ain't you just like the animals,
You do as you're told.
Ain't you just like the animals,
You do as you're told.
People you ain't got no choice
No one listens to your voice
Ask no questions, get no harm
You know you shouldn't be happy on the farm;
Ain't you just like the animals,
You do as you're told.
Ain't you just like the animals,
You do as you're told.
Ain't you just like the animals,
You do as you're told.
Animals waiting two by two
Just 'cause someone told them to.
Now they're living in a zoo
Baby, ain't that just like me and you?
Ain't you just like the animals
You do as you're told.
Ain't you just like the animals,
You do as you're told.
Ain't you just like the animals,
You do as you're told.
