Why do all my friends now want to be your lovers? Your family got bigger when they thought you were rich And now like maniacs They scratch your back Even when it doesn't itch I want to figure it all I want to figure it all out I want to save you from Save you from all that's vain Save you from the things that cause us pain 'Cause it's an animal city It's a cannibal world So be obedient, don't argue Some are ready to bite you It's an animal city It's a cannibal world So be obedient, don't argue Some are ready to bite you, my love They believe you now have everything you wanted And once you have become a star You've got no right to bitch But someday when you fail They'll put you on sale And buy you by the inch But you're the real deal And 'real' is your middle name You know, sometimes I feel Got to earn every breath we take, baby Never mind the rules we break 'Cause it's an animal city It's a cannibal world So be obedient, don't argue Some are ready to bite you It's an animal city It's a cannibal world So be obedient, don't argue Some are ready to rip you right off With you I feel safe There's nothing to fear from us Away from the fangs, the fangs of the world I may be a coward, but you are brave And nothing seems so dangerous 'Cause it's an animal city It's a cannibal world So be obedient, don't argue Some are ready to bite you It's an animal city It's a cannibal world So be obedient, don't argue Some are ready to rip you right off Cannibal world Cannibal world Cannibal world Cannibal world So be obedient, don't argue Some are ready to bite you, my love
