[Verse 1]
Somewhere beyond the iron fence
Lays the good heart of all men
But due to nature's bothering heights
A man must show no glimpse of gay nor fright

[Chorus]
They say you must become an animal
For the animal to protect us
The good animal and so we go to war

[Verse 2]
I do agree, a deal
Of men are purely evil
For whereas I was born with a spoon in me mouth
Others are nurtured with a bullet in their hands

[Chorus]
They say you must become an animal
For the animal to protect us
The good good animal and so we go to war

[Outro]
But I believe in the little bit of my young years
Of tasting fruits of fear in the depths of my own sorrows
Love is all I need to give
Although it clearly hasn't been dear to me
