lyrics

Babe's running away with himself
Makes all of him family disconcerted
Babe's running away with himself
Takes more than a dream to be deserving
And now that he's an animal let's
Now that he's an animal let's hurt him

Your soul won't understand its own design
For as long as you've got rivals in your mind
If it's not enough you're better off alone
If it's not enough you better make some more

Now what's all of this talk about the
World bringing you down? You know you rule it
And what's all of this talk about the
Rules keeping you out? You've been excluded
Well now that you're an animal just
Now that you're an animal just do it

Cause you're running the world from inside of a video
Babe's just a TV show What's the point in fear?
When time's just a rhythm and life just a vision
A dream we've commandeered
