We Are All Animals Lyrics - Singles - The Rakes

We are the animals who have lost our hair 

Retained some of our teeth and gained a choice 

We'll chase food, money and sex until satisfied 

And when its time to rest ask, "What's next?" 

We are all animals 

We are all animals 

We are all animals 

We are all animals 

Well, it's hard enough to retain control 

When our instincts are egging us on 

Biologists and chemists 

Reducing our souls 

To four letters 

And when we think about it 

We're like a masterpiece 

Whose glimpsed, the artist? 

We are, the machines, carrying our various genes 

Then discarded, when the job is done 

We are the disciples, who have lost our way 

Kicked from our pedestal when Darwin burnt the book 

We are all animals 

We are all animals 

We are all animals 

We are all animals 

Well, it's hard enough to retain control 

When our instincts are egging us on 

Biologists and chemists 

Reducing our souls 

To four letters 

Will genes replace Genesis? 

We're like a masterpiece 

Whose glimpsed the artist? 

We like to think we're at a special place 

The stars revolve around the human race 

But we're just mammals 

Just, primates 

Like chimps or gorillas 

We see the hair on our face 

And look at another primate 

You and I, we relate 

We are all animals 

We are all animals 

We are all animals 

We are all animals 

We are all animals 

We are all animals 

We are all animals 

We are all animals
