Whenever my head starts to hurt
Before it goes from bad to feeling worse
I turn off my phone, I get down low
And put my hands the dirt

Try to get a grip on where I'm at
Simplify this dizzy life
And put my feet in the grass

The only explanation for a high rise
Must be that everybody wants to get high
Move on up to a deluxe apartment in the sky

We lose sight of our land below
You can have you place, up in outerspace
'Cause my home is where my food is grown

We are animals
(We are animals)
We are wild

We started with a motion at the bottom of the ocean
Now we're swinging from the tops of the trees
(Em7 A C9 D9)
We are animals
(We are animals)
We are wild
(We are wild)
And to truly be forgiving, we must all get back to living
With the land in harmony
