Civilised Animals

from High Risk by luke hurley

/

lyrics

Upmarket hotel
standing in the hall
for civilised animals
going up the wall
with business conferences
to settle nothing at all
but the carpet is thick and soft
for the vacation crawl

I'd like to stand around in here
dim the lights
I'd like to make it clear
we don't have the right
to take this land
god given land
to take this land
with an iron hand

upmarket hotel
plastic home
for civilised animals
that hunt
on the phone
me I've been so broke
I no longer care all
I know is that its cold in there

they take this land
god given land
they take this land
with an iron hand
