I feel as though this song could possibly be a commentary on American politics. Why would an English performer care about American politics you ask? Well, most of the album is about Benjamin's experience in America. And he was on a Gorillaz Trump-diss track, so I think it fits. Anyhoo, I think "They say you must become an animal" means you have to choose to be a democrat or republican, donkey or elephant respectively. "The good animal" each party believe they are good, and the other is evil. "And so we go to war" It means both our country go to war with others, and the civil war between both political parties.
