The animal people

 


The animal people are here.

The animal people are here.

They feed on your fear,

so keep it in a box locked in your heart

and keep the key held near.

 

The animal people howl.

The animal people wait.

They see the world in shades of hate,

hunting those different to them.

Those that wear different skins.

Those that live to see the world spin.

There is a thin line between evil and deluded

and these beasts sit

on the side with the red guy

with cloven hooves.

They spew the same convoluted untruths

to sow seeds of distrust amongst you.

 

The animal people are here.

The animal people are here.

They growl and spit, snarl and hiss.

They spray their piss upon your gate

to wrongly state that you

are owned by them.

The animal people grunt,

hackles over their backs.

The animal people hunt in packs

like rabid dogs on heat.

Always ready to attack,

they wander the streets,

looking for an innocent soul

on which to snack,

on which to feast.

Licking their lips over underage meat.

Tasting their own rotting teeth

as they vomit up their offerings

to these streets they claim as their beat.

 

The animal people rage, deranged.

The animal people rampage

through the awakened streets,

looking for souls that bleat,

souls that fear, souls that shake.

So they can herd them up

and force them to feed

on the shit that they serve,

the slop they dish up.

The animal people curse.

The animal people leer.

They take everything good,

spoil it for all, soiled in their tarnished

oil slick smears,

ruining the world we share.

Making life grim for everyone living here.

Preying on the weak,

painting the towns in greying shades of fear.

 

 

The animal people stare.

The animal people swear

that the world was better

before others came here.

The animal people are always on the prowl

for somewhere to rest their tiny piece of meat,

to feel their life is somehow complete

because they have mated, rolled over,

farted and gone to sleep.

Snoring through their bleated dreams

for they are really the sheep, it seems.

Following the loudest shouts

in a world full of angry screams.

 

The animal people are here.

Sing the song to warn everyone.

That the animal people are here.

They live and breathe the same air as we.

They take the same buses,

the same shuttles  

to the same jobs that we do.

They share the same world,

they see the same views,

but their view is smeared

with all the hate that they spew.
