Lyrics

[Verse 1]

One, two, three, four, five against one

Five, five against one

Said one, two, three, four, five against one

Five, five, five, five

Five against one

[Verse 2]

Torture from you to me, yeah

Abducted from the street

[Verse 3]

I'd rather be

I'd rather be with

I'd rather be with an animal

Oh, yeah

Rah

[Verse 4]

Why would you wanna hurt me? Oh

Oh, so frightened of your pain

[Verse 5]

I'd rather be

I'd rather be with

I'd rather be with an animal

I'd rather be

I'd rather be

I'd rather be with an animal

[Verse 6]

I'd rather be

I'd rather be with

I'd rather be with an animal

I'd rather be

I'd rather be

I'd rather be with an animal

[Verse 7]

Said one, two, three, four, five against one

Five, five, five, five

I'd rather be, I'd rather be a

One, two, three, four, five against one

Five, five, five, five

Five against one, said
