Animal Games -

Worms in the soil are moving down

Birds in the air scope the ground

Snakes in the grass slither, it’s true

And if you’re a mouse, you had better move

Animal Games

All around and everyone plays

Animal Ways

Be aware and very afraid

Cats in their trees are smiling down

Monkeys and bats are just hanging ‘round

Out in the fields the buffalo graze

Wolves in the brush are fixing their gaze

And down by the pond the bears are in tow

Snatching some fish who swam much too slow

Animal Games

Underneath the teeth and brains

Animal Bites

Ritual of the appetite

Meanwhile, an experiment…

Rabbits are treated with fresh lemon scent

And down in the lab beneath cold doctors' feet

The monkeys are trying to get some relief

Their comrades are tortured in front of their eyes

By animals meaner than any alive

Animal Games

Most are nice but some are strange

Animal Games

Seems to me we’re all the same

Seems to me that we’re all the same in different ways
