F#m
Why do all my friends now want to be your lovers
D C#
your family got bigger when they thought you were rich
F#m
And now like maniacs they scratch your back
D C#
Even when it doesn’t itch
F#m
I want to figure it all, I want to figure it all out
D C#
I want to save you from, Save you from all that’s vain
F#m D C#
Save you, from the things that cause us pain
Chorus:
F#
Cause it’s an animal city, It’s a cannibal world
E
So be obedient, don’t argue
Bm
Some are ready to bite you
F#
It’s an animal city, It’s a cannibal world
E
So be obedient, don’t argue
Bm
Some are ready to rip you right off
D C#7 D C#7
F#m
They believe you now have everything you wanted
D C#
And once you have become a star you have no right to bitch
F#m
But someday when you fail they’ll put you on sale
D C#
And buy you by the inch
F#m
But you’re the real deal and real is your middle name
D C#
You know sometimes I feel we got to earn
F#m D C#
Every breath we take, baby, never mind the rules we break
Chorus:
F#
Cause it’s an animal city, It’s a cannibal world
E
So be obedient, don’t argue
Bm
Some are ready to bite you
F#
It’s an animal city, It’s a cannibal world
E
So be obedient, don’t argue
Bm
Some are ready to rip you right off
D
With you I feel safe
C#
There’s nothing to fear from us
D C#
Away from the fangs, the fangs of the world
D
I may be a coward but you are brave
E6/9
and nothing seems so dangerous
Chorus:
F#
Cause it’s an animal city, It’s a cannibal world
E
So be obedient, don’t argue
Bm
Some are ready to bite you
F#
It’s an animal city, It’s a cannibal world
E
So be obedient, don’t argue
Bm
Some are ready to rip you right off
