Animal - Jackie Greene

My heart is beating hard

Although it’s reckless and abandon

Do your best to understand, lil honey

I do not care for most possessions

For I’m possessed

By something other than the foreign things

We buy ourselves with money

I do not have to run the race

Beside the man, inside this place

Of sharp turns and suburban satisfaction

Baby, don’t mistake me for someone who doesn’t ache

I’m the same as you, with a different reaction

I was born an animal

Wild, wild animal

I was born an animal

Animal

My path is an endless path

It’s a long look in the mirror

Never do I near my destination

For out here among the strange encounters

I’ve counted on my hands, to fight and stand

The trials and tribulations

But don’t take my words as crudity

I’ve got a gentle soul

Deep beneath the bricks

And I, got to haul myself around it

Yeah, I’m out here trying to do my best

To stay alive among the the rapids and the lies

That many a man have drowned in

Oh yeah… yeah…oh yeah

This times are desparate times

We spotted and surrounded

By hounds and vultures, lean and unforgiving

We walk upon two legs as men

We burn it down, just to build again

Will not make a change, to how we’re living

But I believe a change’ll come for us, and those who demand it

For those who can’t stand it

Living wild in the gutter

And on that day the sun will burn like golden hammer

And we will understand how and learn how, to live with each other

Ah… oh…oh yeah… ah…oh.awh…oh…oh yeah…
