verse 1
Why do all my friends
Now want to be your lovers?
Your family got bigger
When they thought you were rich
Now want to be your lovers?
Your family got bigger
When they thought you were rich
verse 2
And now like maniacs
They scratch your back
Even when it doesn't itch
They scratch your back
Even when it doesn't itch
verse 3
I want to figure it all
I want to figure it all out
I want to save you from
Save you from all the fame
Save you from the things that cause us pain
I want to figure it all out
I want to save you from
Save you from all the fame
Save you from the things that cause us pain
verse 4
'Coz it's an animal city
It's a cannibal world
So be obedient, don't argue
Some are ready to fight you
It's a cannibal world
So be obedient, don't argue
Some are ready to fight you
chorus
It's an animal city
It's a cannibal world
So be obedient, don't argue
Some are ready to fight you
My love
It's a cannibal world
So be obedient, don't argue
Some are ready to fight you
My love
verse 5
They believe you now
Have everything you wanted
And once you have become a star
You got no right to bitch
Have everything you wanted
And once you have become a star
You got no right to bitch
verse 6
But someday when you fail
They'll put you on sale
And buy you by the inch
They'll put you on sale
And buy you by the inch
verse 7
But you're the real deal
And "real" is your middle name
You know sometimes I feel
I gotta earn every breath you take
Baby, never mind the rules we break
And "real" is your middle name
You know sometimes I feel
I gotta earn every breath you take
Baby, never mind the rules we break
verse 8
'Coz it's an animal city
It's a cannibal world
So be obedient, don't argue
Some are ready to bite you
It's a cannibal world
So be obedient, don't argue
Some are ready to bite you
chorus
It's an animal city
It's a cannibal world
So be obedient, don't argue
Some are ready rip you right off
It's a cannibal world
So be obedient, don't argue
Some are ready rip you right off
verse 9
With you I feel safe
There's nothing to fear from us
Away from the fangs
The fangs of the world
I may be a coward but you are brave
And nothing seems so dangerous
There's nothing to fear from us
Away from the fangs
The fangs of the world
I may be a coward but you are brave
And nothing seems so dangerous
verse 10

It's a cannibal world
So be obedient, don't argue
Some are ready to bite you

It's an animal city
It's a cannibal world
So be obedient, don't argue
Some are ready rip you right off
It's a cannibal world
So be obedient, don't argue
Some are ready rip you right off
