You got a jackass shitting on the white house lawn
Says he is antiwar and we won't stay long
He's got boots on the ground going 'round and 'round
The media is silent, not a single sound

You got elephant turds in both the houses
Crackheads and whores cheating on their spouses
Giving guns and bombs to all the rebels
While our kids come home in bags wearing pretty medals

We're fighting for freedom (not true!)
We're fighting for oil (that's true!)
We're spreading the profits to those who stay loyal

There's no use pretending
Pick one or the other
It doesn't matter we're all gonna suffer

Pick an animal! (It's time to vote)
Pick an animal! (Two sides, one coin)
Pick an animal! (Heads they win)
Pick an animal! (Tails we lose)

We're fighting for freedom (not true!)
We're fighting for oil (that's true!)
We're spreading the profits to those who stay loyal

There's no use pretending
Pick one or the other
It doesn't matter we're all gonna suffer

Pick an animal! (It's time to vote)
Pick an animal! (Two sides, one coin)
They're all animals!

Pick an Animal
Squirrels in the Attic

I just got a classical guitar
And I wanted it to sing
So I went down to the local music store
Looking for some special strings

Don't want nylon
Don't want steel
I want something natural
I want something real
I wanna pick pick pick an animal
Pick pick pick an animal
I want something real

They were out of stock so I had to look around
Finding a source was hard
Then I stumbled on an unfamiliar shop
Where they sold it by the yard

The old man said he needed some supplies
And he went into the alley
What happened next was spectacularly gross
And we all know the finale

Don't want nylon
Don't want steel
I want something natural
I want something real
I wanna pick pick pick an animal
Pick pick pick an animal
I want something real

Recall the man who's asking questions
Well, he's running out of rats
And it's time to pick another one
The pig feels he should mention
that the farmer grabbed the cat
And the next grab could be anyone

Pick an animal
It's a quest for information, baby
and he's the smartest farmer around
Pick an animal
Or they're gonna start a revolution, baby
and tear this place to the ground

The big pig thinks that he can make everyone's lives a little bit easier
"We can make it ourselves if we overthrow our captor"

Pick an animal
Because they're gonna start a revolution, baby
and tear this place to the ground
Pick an animal
The pigs have lead a revolution, baby
and we're turning power around

Turns out the pig had other plans
and as the power hit his head
He started walking like a man
And then he started asking questions
and wouldn't let them go

So pick an animal
We're on the heels of a revolution, baby
and things aren't going so well
So pick an animal
We're headed towards another revolution, baby
We'll tear this place to the ground.

Shem says we have to leave real soon
If we're going to beat this tide
Looks like you just can't bring them all
There's only room for one inside

Here's your opportunity to save it
Doesn't have to be your favourite
So narrow down your list until it's one
A single one

Just pick an animal you like
Or maybe one that's real unique
Might not look like much to you now
But really soon it will be an antique

Here's your opportunity to save it
Doesn't have to be your favourite
So narrow down your list until it's one
A single one

Your choice should have some skills on which it can rely
(hope that it can fly)
A good floater might be wise
Or one that can stay dry
Or one that won't die

Here's your opportunity to save it
Doesn't have to be your favourite
So narrow down your list until it's one
So narrow down your list until it's one

Pick an Animal
by glennny

When I see her I am a hawk
She's a cougar but still quite a fox
She's a bird, I am a dog
I try to peacock, but she's an ostrich

I can morph into any kind of beast
If it could help to make my chances increase

Pick an animal
And examine all
Of the winning traits
To negotiate
Pick an animal
That's illogical
If we are to survive
Be with me tonight

When she runs, she's a gazelle
I'm a cheetah that prospers well
She's a mongoose, I am a snake
She tries to duck, I am a drake

I can morph into any kind of beast
If it could help to make my chances increase

Pick an animal
And examine all
Of the winning traits
To negotiate
Pick an animal
That's illogical
If we are to survive

i feel like flying
i feel a little hang time
i'm thinking flying squirrell

i want a little more lift
i want to see the world shift
i'm thinking pterodactyl

be your kind of beast
you can be anything
which animal to be
you can be anything


i'm feeling hungry
i feel like fighting
i'm thinking carnivore

i want a little more teeth
i wanna give more grief
my kind of dinosaur

i'm fitting it up
i'm putting it on
i'm sending me out


i'm putting on a costume
i'm singing a fast tune
i'm making my own scene

a pretty silk necktie
staring you in the eye
the most dangerous beast

i'm putting on a costume
