Trapped Animals Lyrics

The most trapped animal, trapped animal
Trapped animal, trapped animal, trapped

The most trapped animal
It's the human, the human animal
We're another, yet another
Just another trapped animal
Trapped animal, it's the human
It's the human, the human animal
We're another, yet another
Just another trapped animal

A perverse animal, only animal
It's the human (dirty)
A savage animal, it's this animal
Is the human savage
The dirty animal, it's this animal
The human dirty
The most trapped animal
It's the human, the human too

Some of us are lost and lonely trapped but good
Some of us are lost and lonely trapped but well
Whatever, some do what know they should
While others go slowly but surely mad
Some of us are lost and lonely trapped but good
Some of us are lost and lonely trapped but well
Whatever, some do what know they should
While others go slowly but surely mad

Some of us are lost and lonely trapped but good
Some of us are lost and lonely trapped but well
Whatever, some do what know they should
While others go slowly but surely mad

The most trapped animal
It's the human, the human animal
We're another, yet another
Just another trapped animal
Trapped is the human
It's the human, the human animal
We're another, yet another
Just another trapped animal

A perverse animal
Only animal
It's the human (dirty)
A savage animal it's this animal
Is the human savage
The dirty animal, it's the animal
It's the human dirty
The most trapped animal
It's the human, the human too
If the cage of their mind or bad company
If the cage of the rich or those in poverty
If the cage of time spends misery [?]
Either way it's a cage of age and rage to me

If the cage of their mind or bad company
If the cage of the rich or those in poverty
If the cage of time spends misery [?]
Either way it's cage of age and rage to me

The most trapped animal is the human, the human animal too
We're trapped, trapped, trapped in a zoo
The most trapped animal is human, the human animal too
Is there nothing, nothing, nothing we can do?

Trapped animal is the human, the human animal too
We're trapped, trapped, trapped in a zoo
The most trapped animal is human, the human animal too
Is there nothing, nothing, nothing we can do?

Went ahead of our own plans
Went ahead of our own good
Went ahead before we wore
Did things before we understood

Went ahead of our own plans
Went ahead of our own good
Went ahead before we wore
Did things before we understood
The most trapped animal is the human
It's the human, the human animal
We're another, yet another
Just another trapped animal
Trapped is the human
It's the human, the human animal
We're another, yet another
Just another trapped animal

Unfair nature is human nature
Caused by humans unfair
Brutal nature is human nature, the most cruel
The most ... [?] nature come from me and you
We are locked in our nature we can't face the truth

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
