Slow 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.

You don't have to be so down

Everyone can hear you in this whole damn crowd

You don't have to try so hard

I think they got the message, you were out of your mind

It's not so good to see you this upset

But the next generation will forget

They're always scared of where their daughter's been

Cause who knows, she could be alone with men

They never wanna see or hear or think about again

Is it gone?

I hope that, that, that it's wrong

Is it gone?

I hope that, that, that it's wrong

Oh, please don't tell it to my face

Everyone can see that you were circling his space

The next generation will forget

Where their daughter's been

Or who knows, it could be alone with men

They're never gonna let you understand

Or show you what is to be a man

You don't wanna sit down and think or hear

You don't think anyone is in your ear

I never wanna see your face

Accuse - it's no ones fault

Is it gone?

I hope that, that, that it's wrong

Is it gone?

I hope that, that, that it's wrong

Is it gone?

I hope that, that, that it's wrong

Is it gone?

I hope that, that, that it's wrong

Now, they're scared of where their daughter's been

Cause who knows, she could be alone with men

They never wanna see or hear or think about again

Is it gone?

I hope that, that, that it's wrong

Is it gone?

I hope that, that, that it's wrong
