Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When superstars and cannonballs
Are running through your head
Television freak show cops
And robbers everywhere
Subway makes me nervous
People pushing me too far
I've got to break away
So take my hand now
[Verse 2]
'Cause I want to live (Like animals)
Careless and free (Like animals)
I want to live, I want to run through the jungle
The wind in my hair and the sand at my feet
[Verse 3]
I've been having difficulties keeping to myself
Feelings and emotions better left upon the shelf
Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie
Which one is more human?
There's a thought, now you decide
[Verse 4]
Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands, yeah, yeah
Would you like to make a run for it?
Would you like to take my hand? Yeah, yeah
[Verse 5]
'Cause I want to live (Like animals)
Careless and free (Like animals)
I want to live, I want to run through the jungle
The wind in my hair and the sand at my feet
[Verse 6]
Sometimes this life can get you down
It's so confusing
There's so many rules to follow
And I don't feel it
'Cause I just run away in my mind
[Verse 7]
When superstars and cannonballs
Are running through your head
Television freak show cops
And robbers everywhere
Animals and children tell the truth, they never lie
Which one is more human?
There's a thought, now you decide
[Verse 8]
Compassion in the jungle
Compassion in your hands, yeah, yeah
Would you like to make a run for it?
Would you like to take my hand? Yeah, yeah
[Verse 9]
'Cause I want to live (Like animals)
Careless and free (Like animals)
I want to live, I want to run through the jungle
The wind in my hair and the sand at my feet
[Verse 10]
I want to live (Like animals)
Careless and free (Like animals)
I want to live, I want to run through the jungle
The wind in my hair, yeah, yeah
[Verse 11]
I want to live
Hey, I want to live
Say, I want to live (Like animals)
And I want to live (Like animals)
Oh, ooh (Like animals)
Oh, ooh (Like animals)
[Verse 12]
'Cause I don't feel it (Like animals)
I don't feel it, ooh
I don't feel it, ooh (Like animals)
[Verse 13]
'Cause I want to live (Like animals)
I don't feel it, ooh
I don't feel it (Like animals)
[Verse 14]
(Like animals)
(Like animals)
(Like animals)
