Intro

Why do all my friends now want to be your lovers

your family got bigger when they thought you were rich

And now like maniacs they scratch your back

Even when it doesn't itch

I want to figure it all, I want to figure it all out

I want to save you from, Save you from all that's vain

Save you, from the things that cause us pain

Chorus

 Cause it's an animal city, It's a cannibal world

So be obedient, don't argue

 Some are ready to bite you

 It's an animal city, It's a cannibal world

So be obedient, don't argue

 Some are ready to rip you right off

They believe you now have everything you wanted

And once you have become a star you have no right to bitch

But someday when you fail

They'll put you on sale

And buy you by the inch

But you're the real deal

And real is your middle name

You know sometimes I feel

We got to earn every breath we take, baby

never mind the rules we break

Chorus

Cause it's an animal city...

 With you I feel safe

 There's nothing to fear from us

 Away from the fangs, the fangs of the world

 I may be a coward but you are brave

[E6/9]

and nothing seems so dangerous

Chorus

Cause it's an animal city...
