"When Life says ' Give up',
Hope wispers ' Try one more time'"


They try to get us in bed,
They want to be out first,
After they get what they want
They leave us crying and confused,
They’re just a bunch of animals.

They fight with each other to see who’s worthy
To be with us,
They wear baggy pants and over sized shirts
To get our attenchen,
They holler at us in there broke-down Buicks
Trying to flatter us with words such as
Sexy, baby, hottie, and sweet stuff.
They’re just a bunch of animals.


They don’t take the time to get to see
The real us, they just take the time to
Look us up and down,
They think guns, knives, and pot make them look cool.
They’re just a bunch of animals.


They think school is pointless and
They don’t need an education, so they drop out
Of school and get jobs at McDonalds.
They’re just a bunch of animals.
