We Are All Animals - 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 it's 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

With 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 diciples

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 g'rillas

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
