Peter Gabriel - Animal Nation lyrics
Your rating:
I didn't meet you in the jungle Swinging from a tree I sat down at the piano You were playing with me I couldn't believe all the things you could do The apes I've seen were in the zoo They say we are unique with this language that we speak But you have proved them wrong Skinner and Chomsky, how could they be so blind With evidence this strong? Intelligent life is all around us Intelligent life is all around us When you watch King Kong or The Planet of the Apes Upon your video screen When the animals die, tears fill your eye And you question what you've seen Intelligent life is all around us Intelligent life is all around us Hey, bonobo woman Hey, bonobo man Look in your eyes That's where I come from Hey, bonobo woman Hey, bonobo man Talk to me now I am listening You can search the internet You can use your video phone To call another friend If we gave you all the tools You can do whatever you want Who knows when this will end Intelligent life is all around us Hey, bonobo woman Hey, bonobo man Look in your eyes That's where I come from Hey, bonobo woman Hey, bonobo man Talk to me now I am listening Hey, bonobo woman Hey, bonobo man Look in your eyes That's where we come from Hey, bonobo woman Hey, bonobo man Talk to us now We are listening Bonobo calling me now x12 Starting to hear the things you've said Getting to know what's going on in your head There's no humans on the line But there'll be plenty more there in good time Dolphins, cats, and elephants This is not some wild romance Just look in their eyes and say it's not true Look in their eyes, they're checking out you Communication with the Animal Nation We are in communication with the Animal Nation x20
