Animals on TV singing

about some pain that they once felt

There’s no one I disapprove of more, or root for more than myself

I wanted to pretend that it was better, better, better on the phone

D Bm E (let ring)
I didn’t wanna tell you I was jealous, jealous, jealous and alone

So we talk about ourselves in hell

To forget the love we never felt

All the old jokes that work so well

Universal truth was a moment’s lie

Don’t try to stop us
Don’t try to stop us
Don’t try to stop us
Get out of the way

Got to get to climb your tree in the light of the living ghost I see

She sees her father in the old man’s eyes while secretly he stares at her
thighs

Animals on TV singing about some they may felt at some point

D Bm E (let ring)
I didn’t want to tell you I was jealous, jealous, jealous, what’s the point?

As I watched the velvet drapes appear

And the door was closed for fourty years

As we hide what we don’t wanna hear

As we hide what’s really in our ears

He is coming from a part of hell

Where lightning blue eyes don’t go down well

He can’t tell that we’re oblivious

It’s addiction of routine as well

Making fools out of the best of us

Making robots of the rest of us

Innocence itself in America today

There’s a crime just like Cornel West might say

Don’t try to stop us
Don’t try to stop us
Don’t try to stop me
Get out of the way
