[Verse 1]
When superstars and cannonballs are running through your head
A television freak show, cops and robbers everywhere

[Verse 2]
Subway makes me nervous, people pushing me too far
I've got to break away, so take my hand now

[Chorus]
'Cause I want to live, like animals
Careless and free, like animals
I want to live, I want to run through the jungle
The wind in my hair and the sand at my feet

[Verse 3]
I've been having difficulties keeping to myself
Feelings and emotions better left up on the shelf

[Verse 4]
Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie
Which one is more human? There's a thought, now you decide

[Pre-Chorus]
Compassion in the jungle, compassion in your hands
Yeah, yeah
Would you like to make a run for it? Would you like to take my hand?
Yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
'Cause I want to live, like animals
Careless and free, like animals
I want to live, I want to run through the jungle
The wind in my hair and the sand at my feet

[Bridge]
Sometimes this life can get you down
It's so confusing, there's so many rules to follow
And I feel it, 'cause I just run away in my mind

[Verse 2]
When superstars and cannonballs are running through your head
Television freak show, cops and robbers everywhere

[Verse 4]
Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie
Which one is more human, there's a thought now you decide

[Pre-Chorus]
Compassion in the jungle, compassion in your hands
Yeah, yeah
Would you like to make a run for it? Would you like to take my hand?
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
'Cause I want to live, like animals
Careless and free, like animals
I want to live, I want to run through the jungle
The wind in my hair and the sand at my feet
[Chorus]
I want to live, like animals
Careless and free, like animals
I want to live, I want to run through the jungle
The wind in my hair

[Outro]
I wanna live
Hey, I want to live
So I want to live, like animals
I want to live, like animals
Like animals
Like animals
I want to feel it, like animals
I want to feel it, like animals
I don't feel it, like animals
I want to feel it, like animals
I want to feel it
I want to feel it, like animals
Like animals
Like animals
Like animals
