Animals - White houses
Tekst :
White houses in neat little rows
contrasting against the sky
tumbled down black shacks over the tracks
children so hungry they could cry
the chrome, the steel, the metal dream
leaving the teepee to rot
the escapist young mind, left behind
saving dimes for community pot
you better get straight
better, better get straight
I feel you better get straight right now
better get straight babe
they re crying out for love
all the time
but they fail to see the neighbors eyes
the TV is on, 6 o clock news
and channels in full colored lies
the company meets, the president speaks
he s young but his bones creak
young girl dresses for the highschool dance
and the guy next door is dying for a peek
get straight
you better, yes you better get straight babe
did you hear what I said?
I said to you, that you, you better get straight
they put a bible in a drawer
of the motel room
and it s crying out to be read
but it stays right there, collecting dust
no one understands what s being said
lovers make love in concrete boxes
what will tomorrow bring?
they ve been told that it s wrong
but they don t give a damn
soon another life it will bring
you better get straight babe
yeah, you better get straight baby
Animals - Beautiful newborn
Tekst :
Oh yeah I m a child of the funky time
Oh yeah my people have committed ugly crimes
And in the process of me breaking free
I have inherited a painful legacy
I have even created some ugly children for you to adopt
That you have chosen to embrace
You embrace the ugly, the dyin and the freak
Only because he is a part of you and you are afraid to speak
Deep down, way down in the depths of you
He is ready to take over and rape the last part of the sanity in your mind
Let him out, let him out, let him run wild, scream free
Get crazy and forget about music what it was what it is or what its supposed to be
Give it to the day, give in to the funky
Give in to the gypsy, to the nigger in you soul and fly free
Fly free
..Give it to the....
Oh lord, curse of the newborn child
...The incredible madness of just you, and then
Yeah, yeah
...Maybe, we will see....
A beautiful newborn child
...Something beautiful, something beautiful...
