"Animals" lyrics

"Animals"

The valiant man mumbled "there's animals in this cage"
Half-asleep, concrete stuck to my face
Well I push up and I slowly crack my eyes
It look just like it smelled, not to my surprise

Surrounded by these strangers
In this room without windows
Barefoot and freezin'
Dressed in faded old orange clothes

Questions of my actions cloud my mind
Must've drank too much, my mouth feels awfully dry
I push up slow to find myself a drink
I see a spout up top but that's all I see
Hours upon hours of mindless talk
Eighteen straight of crime, [?]
I chip away the paint on the western wall
I take my time to spell "God please save us all"

Surrounded by these strangers
In this room without windows
Barefoot and freezin'
Dressed in faded old orange clothes
Faded old orange

In a sudden strange a loud buzzer it sounds
You sir, and only you sir please step out
Fear it floods my veins as I walk out slow
Your bail's been posted, son you're free to go
You can smell the fresh air blowin'
The sky never looked like that
Blue and full of my future I ain't ever goin' back
Ain't never goin' back

I ain't never I ain't never I ain't never goin' back
I ain't never I ain't never I ain't never goin' back yeah
