A#m I'm mad and that's a fact I found out animals don't help Animals think they're pretty smart Shit on the ground, see in the dark G F They wander around like a crazy dog Make a mistake in the parking lot Always bumping into things Always let you down down down down. Animals think they understand Trusting them, a big mistake Animals want to change my life I will ignore animals' advice Chorus: They're never there when you need them They're never there when you call them They're never there when you need them They're never there when you call them down, down, down, down I know the animals are laughing at us Don't even know what a joke is I won't follow animals' advice I don't care if they're laughing at us Chorus: They're never there when you need them They're never there when you call them They're never there when you need them They're never there when you call them down, down, down Ah, ah, ah F#m7 They say they don’t need money They’re lvinign on nuts and berries A They say animals don’t worry They’re lvinign on nuts and berries F#m7 You know animals are hairy?
