Animal Nation Lyrics

I didn't meet you in the jungle, swinging from a tree
I sat down on the piano, you were playing with me
I couldn't believe all the things you can do
The apes had seen within in the zoo
They say we are unique with that language that we speak
But you have proved them wrong
Skinner and Jansky how could they be so blind
When evidence is this strong
Intelligent life is all around us
Intelligent life is all around us
While you watched King Kong and The Planet Of The Apes upon your video screen
When the animals die, tears fell of 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
We gave you all the tools, you can do whatever you want
Who knows where 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
...
Starting to hear the things you said, getting to know what's going on in your head
The first known humans on the line, would there be plenty more than 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
We are in communication with the animal nation
We are in communication with the animal nation
