Animals Crying

I hear you animals crying
I hear your indomitable woes
I hear your papal gods lying
I hear your backroom door close, oh no

I'll take this moment just to tell you
(Just to tell you,)
That I think we're both in the wrong
(We're both in the wrong,)
And then I'll call you just to sell you
(Just to sell you,)
And in three years then we'll belong

Oh-oh
Oh no
I've grown
Too old

Oh-oh
Oh no
I'm bought
You're sold

I hear your excuses flowing
I hear that you're prepared to lose
I hear that you think you're all knowing
I'm here to tell you the bad news

I'll take this moment just to tell you
That I think we're both in the wrong
And then I'll call you just to sell you
And in three years then we'll belong

Oh-oh
Oh no
I've grown
Too old

Oh-oh
Oh no
I'm bought
You're sold

Mixing all this information
Just to hear your own elation
Kill the man who takes dictation
Oh my Lord a violation

As the ship prepares a landing
Take some time to do some sanding
Midst the glut of apprehending
Violence seems to do the mending

I can swim but might be drowning
While the trumpet call is sounding
My ego can take a pounding
Violins and harps resounding

Further into my illusion
You can feel the stark confusion
Nothing but your own conclusion
Blank blue sky to play the blues in

(All you animals all you dirty animals, all you animals all you dirty animals...)

I hear you crying, I hear you
I hear you crying, I hear you
I hear you crying, I hear you
I hear you crying, I hear you
I hear you crying, I hear you
I hear you crying, I hear you
