Versuri Animal

  
More and more there is this animal 
Looking out through my eyes 
At all the traffic on the road to nowhere 
At all the shiny stuff around to buy 
At all the wires in the air 
At all the people shopping 
For the same blank stare 
At america the drastic 
That isolated geographic 
That's become infested with millionaires 
 
When you grow up surrounded 
By willful ignorance 
You have to believe 
Mercy has its own country 
And that it's round and borderless 
And then you have to grow wings 
And rise above it all 
Like there  
Where that hawk is circling 
Above that strip mall 
 
More and more there is this animal  
Looking out through my eyes 
Seeing that animals only take from this world 
What they need to survive 
But she is prowling through all the religions of men 
Seeing that time and time and time again 
Their gods have made them  
Special and above 
Nature's law  
And the respect thereof 
 
And I think when you grow up surrounded 
By willful ignorance 
You have to believe that mercy has its own country 
And that it's round and borderless 
And then you just grow wings 
And rise above it all 
Like there where that hawk is circling  
Above that strip mall 
 
Ask any eco-system  
Harm here is harm there 
And there and there 
And aggression begets aggression 
It's a very simple lesson 
That long preceded any king of heaven 
And there's this brutal imperial power 
That my passport says I represent 
But it will never represent where my heart lives 
Only vaguely where it went 
 
Cuz I know when you grow up surrounded 
By willful ignorance 
You learn that mercy has its own country 
And that it's round and borderless 
And then you just grow wings 
And rise above it all 
Like there  
Where that hawk is circling 
Above that strip mall
