No Spill Blood Lyrics
Animals came from miles around,
so tired of walking so close to the ground.
They needed a change, that's what they said,
Life is better walking on two legs!
But they were in for a big surprise!
(What is the law?)
No spill blood!
What is the law??
(No spill blood!)
(Who makes the rules?)
Someone else..
Who makes the rules??
(Someone else!)
The rules are written
in the stone,
Break the rules and you get no bones.
All you get is ridicule,
laughter,
And a trip to the house of pain!
(What is the law?)
No spill blood!
What is the law??
(No spill blood!)
(Who makes the rules?)
Someone else..
Who makes the rules??
(Someone else!)
We walk on two legs,
not on four.
To walk on four legs breaks the law.
What happens..
when they break the law?
What happens..
when the rules aren't fair?
We all know here we go
from there!
To the house of
pain!
To the house of pain!
To the house of pain!
To the house of pain!
To the house of PAIN!

We walk on two legs,

To walk on four legs breaks the law.
What happens..
when they break the law? Hm?
What happens..
when the rules aren't fair?
We all know here we go
from there!
To the house of pain!
To the house of pain..
To the house of pain!
To the house of pain..
To the house of pain!

It directly quotes The Island of Dr. Moreau by H.G. Wells. That's what it's about.
The book deals with a group of experimented on animals. The scientist wants them to be as human as possible and enforces this through laws (Walk on two legs, no spill blood). If the animals break the laws they are further experimented on (House of Pain). It's a great book.
its inspired by the movie Island of the Lost Souls...i believe thats what danny said once
You're all correct! (Except for the <i>Animal Farm</i> guy.)
Elfman took the chant from viewing <i>Island of Lost Souls</i>... which is a movie adaptation of the book <i>The Island of Dr. Moreau.</i>
(Interestingly enough, Devo's "Are we not men?" chant in "Jocko Homo" is also from <i>Island of Lost Souls.</i>)
This song is about H. G. Wells' "The Island of Dr. Moreau."
Really? I had actually compared this song to George Orwell's "Animal Farm".
reincarnation?
Animal Farm also applies. I think there was some theme sharing going on between authors. From Animal Farm...
"Two legs good, four legs bad."
which is later changed, to...
"Two legs good, four legs better."
