Animals Crying

I hear you animals crying

I hear your indomitable woes

I hear your papal gods lying

I hear your backroom door close, oh no

I'll take this moment just to tell you

(Just to tell you,)

That I think we're both in the wrong

(We're both in the wrong,)

And then I'll call you just to sell you

(Just to sell you,)

And in three years then we'll belong

Oh-oh

Oh no

I've grown

Too old

Oh-oh

Oh no

I'm bought

You're sold

I hear your excuses flowing

I hear that you're prepared to lose

I hear that you think you're all knowing

I'm here to tell you the bad news

I'll take this moment just to tell you

That I think we're both in the wrong

And then I'll call you just to sell you

And in three years then we'll belong

Oh-oh

Oh no

I've grown

Too old

Oh-oh

Oh no

I'm bought

You're sold

Mixing all this information

Just to hear your own elation

Kill the man who takes dictation

Oh my Lord a violation

As the ship prepares a landing

Take some time to do some sanding

Midst the glut of apprehending

Violence seems to do the mending

I can swim but might be drowning

While the trumpet call is sounding

My ego can take a pounding

Violins and harps resounding

Further into my illusion

You can feel the stark confusion

Nothing but your own conclusion

Blank blue sky to play the blues in

(All you animals all you dirty animals, all you animals all you dirty animals...)

I hear you crying, I hear you

I hear you crying, I hear you

I hear you crying, I hear you

I hear you crying, I hear you

I hear you crying, I hear you

I hear you crying, I hear you
