Lyrics:

My heart is a beating heart Oh its reckless and abandoned Do your best to understand it, honey I do not care for most possessions But Im possessed by something other Than the boring things we buy ourselves with money I do not have to run the race Beside the men inside this place Of sharp turns and suburban satisfaction But baby dont mistake me for someone who doesnt ache Im the same as you With a different reaction CHORUS I was born an animal Wild, wild animal I was born an animal Animal My path is an endless path Its a long look in the mirror Never do I near my destination For out here among the strange encounters Ive counted on my hands to fight and stand The trials and tribulations But dont take my words as crude or cheap Ive got a gentle soul deep beneath the bricks That Im gonna haul myself around in Yeah Im out here trying to do my best To stay alive among the rapids and the lies That many men have drowned in CHORUS These times are desperate times Were spited and surrounded The hounds and vultures lean in unforgiving We walk upon two legs as men We burn it down just to build again We will not make a change to our living But I believe a change will come for us and those who demand it For those who cant stand it Living wild in the gutter And on that day the sun will burn like a golden hammer And we will understand and learn How to live with each other CHORUS
