Peter Gabriel - Animal Nation lyrics

I didn't meet you in the jungle
Swinging from a tree i sat down at the piano
You were playing with me
I couldn't believe all the
Things you could do
The apes I've seen were in the zoo

They say we are unique
With this language that we speak
But you have proved them wrong
Skinner and Chomsky
How could they be so blind
With evidence this strong?
Intelligent life is all around us
Intelligent life is all around us

When you watch King Kong
Or The Planet of the Apes
Upon your video screen when the animals die
Tears fill your eye
And you question what you've seen



Intelligent life is all around us
Intelligent life is all around us

Hey, bonobo woman hey, bonobo man
Look in your eyes that's where I come from
Hey, bonobo woman hey, bonobo man
Talk to me now i am listening

You can search the internet
You can use your video phone
To call another friend
If we gave you all the tools
You can do whatever you want
Who knows when this will end

Intelligent life is all around us
Intelligent life is all around us

Hey, bonobo woman hey, bonobo man
Look in your eyes that's where I come from
Hey, bonobo woman hey, bonobo man
Talk to me now i am listening

Hey, bonobo woman hey, bonobo man
Look in your eyes that's where we come from
Hey, bonobo woman hey, bonobo man
Talk to us now we are listening

Bonobo calling me now bonobo calling me now
Bonobo calling me now bonobo calling me now
Bonobo calling me now bonobo calling me now
Bonobo calling me now bonobo calling me now
Bonobo calling me now bonobo calling me now
Bonobo calling me now bonobo calling me now

Starting to hear the things you've said
Getting to know what's going on in your head
There's no humans on the line
But there'll be plenty more
There in good time
Dolphins, cats and elephants
This is not some wild romance
Just look in their eyes
And say it's not true look in their eyes
They're checking out you
