Animals (Live) Lyrics by Talking Heads

The Name of This Band Is Talking Heads (Live) [Expanded Version]

2004

[Verse 1]
I'm mad and that's a fact
I found out animals don't help
Animals think they're pretty smart
Shit on the ground, see in the dark

[Chorus 1]
They wander around like a crazy dog
Make a mistake in the parking lot
Always bumping into things
Always let you down, down, down, down
Ah, ah, ah, ah

[Verse 2]
Animals think they understand
Trusting them, a big mistake
Animals want to change my life
I will ignore animals' advice

[Chorus 2]
They're never there when you need them
They're never there when you call them
They're never therе when you need them
They'rе never there when you call them down

[Verse 3]
I know the animals are laughing at us
Don't even know what a joke is
I won't follow animals' advice
I don't care if they're laughing at us

[Chorus 2]
They're never there when you need them
They're never there when you call them
They're never there when you need them
They're never there when you call them down, down, down, down

Ah, ah, ah

[Outro]
They say they don't need money, they're living on nuts and berries
You know animals are hairy? They say they don't need money
They like to laugh at people, they're setting a bad example
They think they know what's best, they're making a fool of us
They know animals don't worry, they're living on nuts and berries
You know animals are hairy? They say they don't need money
They like to laugh at people, they're setting a bad example
They think they know what's best, they're making a laugh at me

Go ahead, laugh at me
Go ahead, laugh at me
Go ahead, laugh at me
Go ahead, laugh at me
Go ahead, laugh at me
Go ahead, laugh at me
Laugh at me
Go ahead, laugh at me
Go ahead, laugh at me
Go ahead, laugh at me
Laugh at me
Go ahead, laugh at me
Go ahead, laugh at me
Go ahead, laugh at me
Laugh at me
Go ahead, laugh at me
