Lyrics
Ancient Animals
Words and Music by Gary Wollman
We're complicated creatures
Barking up the wrong tree
Talking two minds about tomorrow
As to whether or not to be or not to be
We're ancient animals
All trying to do something that matters
We must first find the connection to our souls
Before each and every dream is soon left shattered
Deh de deh dah de dah
Won't you please spare me all the details
Let's just get down to the facts
Far too much has gone down through the ages
That, try as we might to deny, keep in mind
There are things we can never take back
It's been back and forth
We've been up and down
Moved all around the world and still
We've never been found
With all the strides we made
We keep losin' our way
We're still all huffin' and puffin' about yesterday
While the future's counting down on us
Without a time delay
Just ordinary people
Committing crimes of humanity
Seems ancient animals
Are beginning to look a lot like you and me
