human animal lyrics

I am an animal
A human animal
A human animal

I am an animal
A human animal
A human animal

The monster of hate overcomes rational thought
Fast fuse burning the lessons I've been taught
It's just too late to remember who I am
The things that I believe in and the way that I stand

About peace, harmony, respect fellow man
All that shit, just got thrown against the fan
In my violent rage they say that I am a criminal
There ain't no labels within the human animal

I am an animal
A human animal
A human animal

In this world of bigotry and pain, pain
The violence spreads and terror reigns
The opinions in our minds replace our souls
As the human animal takes control

The path of self destruction has brought me to this point
As modern day society cracks arthritic joints
No mercy is shown, it's hittin' all my weak spots
I never had a gun, but now I wanna hear a gunshot

I sleep not for fear, I get no rest
Twisted in a sense and my button has been pressed
How many ways have you shown me that you hate me?
Then you wonder why, what have you done to me lately?

I am an animal
A human animal
A human animal

In this world of bigotry and pain, pain
The violence spreads and terror reigns
The opinions in our minds replace our souls
As the human animal takes control

Tension building, I'm pushed too far
I need a release, take the lid off this jar
My voice seems useless in this situation
Release frustration, time to take action
Release frustration

Everyone has limits, only so much you can take
Antagonizing pressure is the icing on the cake
Physical abuse, induced or subliminal
Open the door, unleash the human animal

Everyone has limits, only so much you can take
Antagonizing pressure is the icing on the cake
Physical abuse, induced or subliminal
Open the door, unleash the human animal, human animal

I am an animal
A human animal
A human animal
A human animal

Flashes of red, my vision of distortion
Like a virus, it spreads giving each his portion
Contagious psychopath, the vibe is in sync
Movin' like a pack, we're back to basic instincts

Wild at heart, now we show our true colors
In the path of desperation, we forget about our brothers
Who would die for us now? We die for no man
Deranged from the instance that violence came to hurt

Instinctual behavior in the given situation
Leaves us with no call for rationalization
Everyman has what it takes to be a cannibal
Never underestimate the human animal
