Lyrics
Wild 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.
If you beat on the rock you can hear the world ring
Wake up in the morning you don't feel a thing
Shadows gathering over your head
And it's just like the preacher man said
He said we were born to run through the grass
Why are you living your life behind bars
Why are you living your life in the past
Give yourself a reason to sing
That you were free born you're free born
You're free born you're free
Don't let them kill the wild animals inside of you
It's like in the movies when the rain comes down
And you take of your clothes and you scream at the clouds
Can you remember the moment of birth
When you slipped out onto the earth
You're a man you're a woman you're not some machine
Why do you always stare at the screen
Why do you always bow your head down
I know you used to be proud
When you were free born you're free born
You're free born you're free
Don't let them kill the wild animals inside of you
Look out the tiny window frame that sits behind your desk
Past the big computer screen and the jars of fountain pens
What are you doing in this prison with your psychopathic boss
With your brokenhearted mornings and your backstabbing friends
You were free born you're free born
You're free born you're free
Don't let them kill the wild animals inside of you
