lyrics

How any fool could live like that I'll never understand
So crawl from underneath your rock and take it like a man
It takes one among the millions to blacken out the sun
Of hope and peace and freedom can't we get the damn thing done?
At three in the mornin' you oughta be in bed
Three fingers in a molotov and devils in your head
Marchin' down the county road with trouble on your mind
And three little souls you can never leave behind

What kind of animal, what kind of animal
What kind of fool gets under my skin
What kind of animal, what kind of animal
Tryin' to invent an original sin
If I had my way they’d never see the light of day again

Now we love all your women and your music and your beer
But the nations of the world man we've had it up to here
With your fightin' and your killin' and your battle of the bands
And every bastard son with blood on his hands
Now there's gotta be a way around the damage that you do
But your fathers never told you cause they didn't have a clue

What kind of animal, what kind of animal
What kind of fool gets under my skin
What kind of animal, what kind of animal
Tryin' to invent an original sin
If I had my way they’d never see the light of day again

Now I know it looks so easy to judge from where we stand
A country full of hypocrites a gun for every man
Target practice after school the only way to be
And millionaires at midnight runnin' wild and free

What kind of animal, what kind of animal
What kind of fool gets under my skin
What kind of animal, what kind of animal
Tryin' to invent an original sin
If I had my way they’d never see the light of day again
