Brett Horton - Me and the Animals Lyrics

They are locked up in cages
They are tied up by leashes
They're lab experiments
They are held up by fences

Me and the animals remember the old jungles
Me and the animals are looked down on as fools

They are slaughtered for your food
They have to beg for their food
They are whipped for hard labor
They're skinned for their cash-making fur

Me and the animals remember the open fields
Me and the animals remember all who were killed

I say, though, some are treated like kings
They lounge around all day and are given luxurious things
But they can be your best friend
Without saying a word, if you pet them just right, under their chin
There's no one like them to show or give you affection

They are locked up in cages
They are tied up by leashes
They seem to be hopeless
They're chained to offices

Me and the animals remember the tall buildings
Me and the animals know life is for living

For me and the animals it's all or nothing
Cautiously we can creep the zookeeper is asleep

Let's go
No, wait, let's wake him up
