Not so long ago

Down from the trees and into the gutter

Naked, beautiful

Feet on the earth and heart all aflutter

Set up from the dawn

Eden was a trap and the apple was a con

From the tilt of the hips, the grasp of the hand

The word is the seed of the soul of the man



Can't take one life for another



Know your history

We don't want to learn

But we want to believe

We seek out enemies

Scared to the core

As we arm to the teeth



Can't tear one life for another



We're not separate, no different

We're not separate, no different

We're still animals



Get up off your knees



Don't bow your head any more

Raise your voice to sing

One song true enough for us all



Can't trade one life for another



We're not separate, no different

We came from the earth, not the firmament

We're not separate, no different now

We're not separate, no different

We're bound to the earth like a sacrament

We're not separate, no different now

We're still beautiful animals
