Live Like Animals Lyrics

The TV tells us to be scared
We’d make a difference if we cared
We put our lives all up for sale
We get our truth from the Daily Mail
It’s madness
Get used to it

Another unit to be sold
Pig-love is all we’ll ever know
So we’re gonna live like animals
We’re gonna live like animals
It’s madness
It’s gone to shit

And all the kids are opening their eyes
And all the kids are starting up a fire
Dancing around, dancing around the light

So drink our blood like a parasite
For occupation, socialite
Just looking for another hit
Opinion's what you say it is
It's tragic
Could get used to it

So write your name as you come in
In case we want to kick you out
We're gonna make 'em build a wall
We're gonna live like animals
It's madness
It's gone to shit

If you're a something, don't ask for nothing
If you're a nothing, don't ask for something
If you're a something, don't ask for nothing
If you're a nothing, don't ask for something

And all the kids are opening up their eyes
And all the kids are starting up a fire
Dancing around, dancing around the light

So wake up, so wake up
So wake up, so wake up

So wake up
This ain't a dream
'Cause everything's exactly how it seems

And all the kids are opening their eyes
And all the kids are starting up a fire
Dancing around, dancing around the light

So wake up, so wake up
So wake up, so wake up

So wake up
This ain't a dream
'Cause everything's exactly how it seems

So wake up

Cover art for Live Like Animals  lyrics by Nothing But Thieves

It's a song about the state of politics in the United States.

"The TV tells us to be scared" is referring to the mainstream media.

"Pig-love is all we know" is probably a jab at all the unpopular politicians that have been uncovered as corrupt, but almost certainly the president.

"Now the kids are starting a fire, dancing around, dancing around the light" This refers to all the protests that have been taking place in the last couple of years.

"If you're a something, don't ask for nothing" Easy to interpret as 'if you're rich, stop asking for more'

"If you're a nothing, don't ask for something" Interpreted as 'if you're poor, don't expect anything to change'

My Interpretation

@Larpskur _ YEP - that's exactly what I got out of it. LOVE this song. Great rif too :) "We get our truth from the daily mail" (fake news-haha) Write your name when you come in - in case we want to kick you out! (sound familiar) We're gonna make'm build a wall ... NEW US Anthem.. (ha)
