germs - manimal lyrics

i came into this world like a puzzled
panther
wanting to be caged
but something stood in the way
i was never quite tamed

i crossed the pasths of right and wrong
and saw them take their toll
i saw armies that marched
and like animals they crawled

[chorus]

evolution is a process too slow
to save my soul
but i've got this creature on my back
and it just won't let go

if i am only an animal
then i can do no wrong
but they say something better
so i've gotta hold
