Worms in the soil are moving down
Birds in the air scope the ground
Snakes in the grass slither, it's true
And if you're a mouse, you had better move
Animal Games
All around and everyone plays
Animal Ways
Be aware and very afraid
Cats in their trees are smiling down
Monkeys and bats are just hanging 'round
Out in the fields the buffalo graze
Wolves in the brush are fixing their gaze
And down by the pond the bears are in tow
Snatching some fish who swam much too slow
Animal Games
Underneath the teeth and brains
Animal Bites
Ritual of the appetite
Meanwhile, an experiment…
Rabbits are treated with fresh lemon scent
And down in the lab beneath cold doctors' feet
The monkeys are trying to get some relief
Their comrades are tortured in front of their eyes
By animals meaner than any alive
Animal Games
Most are nice but some are strange
Animal Games
Seems to me we're all the same
Seems to me that we're all the same in different ways
