Animals Songtext
von Southall

A violent man mumbled, "There are animals in this cage"
Half-asleep, concrete stuck to my face
I push up, and I slowly crack my eyes
Look, just like it smelled, not to my surprise

Surrounded by strangers
In this room without windows
Barefoot and freezin′
I'm dressed in faded old orange clothes

Questions of my actions cloud my mind
Must′ve drank too much, my mouth feels awfully dry
I push up slow to find myself a drink
I see a spout up top, but that's all I see


And hours upon hours of mindless talk
18 straight of crime, was none their fault
I chip away the paint on the western wall
I take my time to spell "God, please save us all"

Surrounded by strangers
In this room without windows
Barefoot and freezin'
I′m dressed in faded old orange clothes
Faded old orange clothes

Then a sudden, strange, and loud buzzer it sounds
You, sir, and only you, sir, please step out
Fear it floods my veins as I walk out slow
Your bail′s been posted, son, you're free to go

You can smell the fresh air blowin′
The sky never looked like that
Blue and full of my future I ain't ever goin′ back
I ain't ever goin′ back
