Wild Animals - The Cat Empire

If you beat on the rock you can hear the world ring

Wake up in the morning you don’t feel a thing

Shadows gathering over your head

And it’s just like the preacher man said

He said we were born to run through the grass

Why are you living your life behind bars

Why are you living your life in the past

Give yourself a reason to sing

That you were free born, you’re free born

You’re free born, you’re free born

You’re free born, you’re free born

You’re free born, you’re free

Don’t let them kill the wild animals inside of you

It’s like in the movies when the rain comes down

And you take off your clothes and you scream at the clouds

Can you remember the moment of birth

When you slipped out onto the earth

You’re a man, you’re a woman, you’re not some machine

Why do you always stare at the screen

Why do you always bow your head down

I know you used to be proud

When you were free born, you’re free born

You’re free born, you’re free born

You’re free born, you’re free born

You’re free born, you’re free

Don’t let them kill the wild animals inside of you

Don’t let them kill the wild animals,

kill the wild animals, kill the wild animals

Don’t let them kill the wild animals inside of you

Look out the tiny window frame that sits behind your desk

Past the big computer screens and the jars of fountain pens

What are you doing in this prison with your psychopathic boss

With your brokenhearted mornings and your backstabbing friends

You were free born, you’re free born

You’re free born, you’re free born

You’re free born, you’re free born

You’re free born, you’re free

Don’t let them kill the wild animals inside of you

Don’t let them kill the wild animals,

kill the wild animals, kill the wild animals

Don’t let them kill the wild animals inside of you

Don’t let them kill the wild animals,

kill the wild animals, kill the wild animals

Don’t let them kill the wild animals inside of you
