          I'm mad, and that's a fact
          I found out - animals don't help
          Animals think - they're pretty smart
          Shit on the ground - see in the dark

                    D           G                                   F
                         They wander around like a crazy dog
                         Make a mistake in the parking lot
                         They're always bumping into things
                         Always let you down down down
                                                                                    D (x4)

          Animals think - they understand
          Trust in them - a big mistake
          Animals want - to change my life
          I will ignore - animals advice

                         They're never there when you need them
                         They never come when you call them
                         They're never there when you need them
                         The're never come when you call them down down, down down

          I know the animals - are laughing at us
          They don't even know - what a joke is
          I won't follow - animal's advice
          I don't care - if they're laughing at us

                         They're never there when you need them
                         They never come when you call them
                         They're never there when you need them
                         The're never come when you call them down down down

                                   F#m
                                       They say they don't need money, they're living on nuts and berries
                                    A2
                                       They say animals don't worry, they're living on nuts and berries
                                       You know animals are hairy? They say animals don't worry
                                       They think they know what's best, they're making a fool of us

                                       They ought to be more careful, they're setting a bad example
                                       They say animals don't worry, they're living on nuts and berries
                                       They're setting a bad example, they ought to be more careful
                                       You know animals don't worry, they're living on nuts and berries

                                       They ought to know what's best, they're making a fool of us
                                       They ought to be more careful, they're setting a bad example
                                       They ought to laugh at people, they're setting a bad example
                                       They have untroubled lives, they think everything's nice

                                       You know they don't need money, they say animals don't worry
                                       They're living on nuts and berries, you know animals are hairy?
                                       They think they know what's best, they're making a fool of us
                                       They like to laugh at people, they're setting a bad example

                                       You know they don't need money? You know animals are hairy?
                                       They're living on nuts and berries - they say they don't need money
                                       They're setting a bad example, they're making a fool of us...
