Nature Of The Beast Lyrics

Out here running in the human race

Dog eats dog, it's a dangerous place

A mouse can roar, and a worm can turn

So hold your horses, live and learn

It's like living in a human zoo

Where we act like the animals in plain view

Don't be misled it's a fable or a myth

It's the nature of the beast, that we're dealing with

There's the free as a bird, the happy as a clam

The old grey mare, the chicken and the ram

The fly on the wall, the real dark horse

And the elephant in the room of course

Some growl like a bear or a dog on the loose

Others who wouldn't say boo to a goose

The drunk as a skunk, the jackass too

Monkey see, monkey do

I know a man who's sly as a fox

Eats like a horse, strong as an ox

Crazy as a loon or a box of frogs

About as much use as a bump on a log

He's got a wife who no-one hears

She cries a lot, sheds silent tears

Quiet as a mouse, sleek as a cat

Gentle as a lamb, what d'ya think about that

Some hog the lot, get the lion's share

Others run around like a mad March hare

The proud as a peacock, stubborn as a mule

Wise as an owl, or the dangerous fool

There's wolves dressed up to look like sheep

They run in packs and play to keep

Weasels, toads, snakes and rats

Put them all together and they fight like cats

Living your life in a goldfish bowl

Doesn't do much for the heart and soul

Big Brother's up there watching you

Sees everything from a bird's eye view

Snakes in the grass in a world gone wrong

While we're busy looking after number one

Like Deer in the headlights, moths to a flame

While the big bad wolf stays ahead of the game

Out here running in the human race

Dog eats dog, it's a dangerous place
