Calm animals expect nothing Live suspicious to balance out The effect of reason on their sunrise There's a moving hide Calm animals with no shackles Free on a shrinking plain So presented; it's economics Small wonder the pastures die Calm, calm, calm, calm animals Free on a shrinking plain Calm, calm, calm Adventures to roam alone So civilized, the code stifles A race with gestures has lost its way The chance was given to think social But we choke on greed and excess Going by going by Just for politics we live the lie You cry, we cry Part of history will wonder why
