lyrics

VERSE 1

If you want to know your history
Check the bottom of the sea
Slaves threw themselves overboard
And then they were free

Slaves on another land
Skipped the pleasantries
They died on their feet
Rather than serve on their knees

What does that say about
Them who rule
How they treat mankind
They don’t teach that in school

How we treat Mother Earth
Who let us stay a while
Have we overstayed our welcome
Every man, woman & child

BRIDGE –

We should’ve known better but
We really fucked up
We’re only here for a minute
And we choose to hurt

It’s taken a long time
To make us this way
We didn’t start like this
On the first day

CHORUS -

Kings & Queens are Philistines
They’re just Dumb Animals

Popes & Priests are simple beasts
Looking for survival

Ministers scare you
With lines from the bible

All these heads, trick you
Your neighbours are your rivals

Pres-i-dent, hear his vent
His lies keep you tribal

They’re all dumb animals
Hold them libel

V2

Given the gift
of all these emotions
Blessed with thoughts
And endless notions

We can love!
And express through art
We’d stick to that
If we were really that smart

What does that say about
Them who rule
How they treat mankind
They don’t teach that in school

Why do we treat each other
In that way?
When no one owns this land
Or this day!

BRIDGE 2 -

We should’ve known better but
We really fucked up
We’re only here for a minute
And we choose to hurt

Check ourselves
Start again
Dumb Animals
Don’t be so vein

CHORUS 2

Kings & Queens are Philistines
They’re just Dumb Animals

Popes & Priests are simple beasts
Looking for survival

Ministers scare you
With lines from the Bible

All these heads, trick you
Your neighbours are your rivals

Pres-i-dent, hear his vent
His lies keep you tribal

They’re just dumb animals
Hold them libel


Kings & Queens
Popes & Priests
Ministers & Bibles

All of them lying to you
Looking for survival

Pres-i-dent, pays his rent
Doesn’t care what he’s spent
Lies to you, taxes me
Hand on his bible

Governments spend & spend
Not on us, just on them
Fear of God, put in us
Just incase, we resent

All they do, all they have
All this shit, makes me mad
All their lies, fucking us
They’re just Dumb Animals

They’re just Dumb Animals
