The Cat Empire – Wild Animals lyrics

[Verse:]
If you beat on a rock you can hear the world ring
You wake up in the morning, you don’t feel a thing,
Saddest part gleaming over your head
And it’s just like the preacherman said.

So we were born to run through the choirs,
While you are living your life behind bars
While you are living your life in the past
Give yourself a reason to see that

[Chorus:]
You are freeborn, you’re freeborn,
You’re freeborn, you’re freeborn,
You’re freeborn, you’re freeborn,
You’re freeborn, you’re freeborn.
Don’t let them kill the wild animals inside of you.

[Verse:]
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 down 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.

[Chorus:]
When you were freeborn, you’re freeborn,
You’re freeborn, you’re freeborn,
You’re freeborn, you’re freeborn,
You’re freeborn, you’re freeborn.
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.

[Verse:]
Look out the time your windowframe that sits behind your desk
Past the big computer screens and the jobs you find that pains.
What are you doing in this prison, with your psychopathic boss?
With your broken heart in mornings and your backstabbing friends?

[Chorus:]
You are freeborn, you’re freeborn,
You’re freeborn, you’re freeborn,
You’re freeborn, you’re freeborn,
You’re freeborn, you’re freeborn.
Don’t let them kill the wild animals inside of you
