Lyrics:

From the primordial soup
Out of the dim and the gloom we came
We are animals
By any other name

From the primordial soup
Out of the dim and the gloom we came
We are animals
One unbroken chain

I need to get you out of your cave, man
I need to let you out of your cage and set you free
If tonight’s the night
I’m gonna show you I ain’t got no game plan

Out from under a rock
From a prehistoric sea, we crawl
We are animals
Animal, one and all

Out from under a rock
From the prehistoric sea we came
We are animals, animal
One unbroken chain

I know what you’re searching for
I pray you find it, on your instinct
I don’t need your hurtin’, boy
Animalistic

I need to get you out of your cave, man
I wanna let you out of your cage and set you free
If tonight’s the night
I’m gonna show you I ain’t got no game plan

I need to get you out of your cave, man
I wanna let you out of your cage and set you free
If tonight’s the night
I’m gonna show you I ain’t got no game plan

If you call out tonight
And hear the call of the wild, reply
You are animal, animal
Not so deep inside

If you call out in vain
Everyone of us just the same
We are animal
Dare not speak its name

I know what you’re searching for
I pray you find it, on your instinct
I don’t need your hurtin’, boy
Animalistic

I need to get you out of your cave, man
(Primitive)
I’m gonna let you out of your cage and set you free
If tonight’s the night
I’m gonna show you I ain’t got no game plan
(Primitive love for me)

I need to get you out of your cave, man
(Primitive)
I’m gonna let you out of your cage and set you free
If tonight’s the night
I’m gonna show you I ain’t got no game plan
(Primitive love for me)

Lyrics to Coming War :
(feat. Chali 2na (Jurassic 5))

[Chorus]
We see a coming war
We see a coming war

Now
Can you imagine this world with no oppression?
And no need to dabble in greed and transgression
The solution for murder and prostitution
Never glorify this pollution on television
Corrupt an entire nation
Explicit images
Never freeing Mumia regardless of proven innocence
Turning to crime and not using intelligence
What makes me wonder sometimes are we in hell or
Inches away from confronting the powers that be
Saw in seconds what has taken some hours to see
Temps is hot enough to melt a bullion
More than a million people are ready
For rebellion
This shit is ill
Sun set to the crack of dawn
If you’re black or blonde
Uncle Sam is robbing you blind and putting shackles ‘pon
The minds of your children for real son
Beware this system and go to war with this institution.

They see a coming war
They see a coming war

They expect those of us who peep to not see
Medical benefits should be cheap if not free (right?)
The richest people are those without morals
Cuz once they get inside they tend to keep the door closed
Lord knows they killing us quick and clean
>From baseheads to people addicted to nicotine
Man-made diseases where skin cells corrode
To ones where if infected you die from common colds
Economical foes they pose the true threat
Using your tax dollars to sell and produce death
What’s left?
We got guns and drug trafficking
Government will be backing
And blaming Latin and African brothers for dirty work done
The shit they do not only hurts young
But it’s provoking revolutionary circum-
Stances
Slow like molasses
This is a message to the masses
Never ass kiss

[Chorus]

Emergency, emergency, evacuate the premises immediately
Emergency, emergency

Now
Open your ear
Cause slavery will appear
When corporate cutthroats control your career
The treats of life are toned and ain’t no way the ripple fix
Beware the microchip that replaces the triple six
Which one?
Are you a soldier who fights against fraud
Or pawns in this game on this government’s chess board?
The signs are clearly defined
It’s merely your mind state
Wars coming my people so stay awake

How much information do we need? The ‘global financial crisis’ has been revealed to be a scam to pass huge amounts of public money to banks. The super-rich just got richer, they smuggled £13 trillion ($21tn) of wealth into offshore accounts – as much as the American and Japanese GDPs put together.

Meanwhile, a devastating article published June 6 in the science journal Nature cites 100 papers in summarising what’s known about environmental tipping points. In “Approaching a state shift in Earth’s biosphere,” they put forward evidence that the entire global ecosystem could flip rapidly to a new state with devastating ramifications for billions of people.

Not only are national governments failing to take action, they still work on behalf of (and subsidise) the gargantuan fossil fuel companies who are committed to transferring as much carbon from the ground into the atmosphere as possible. They diffuse the carbon to concentrate their wealth and the public pays for the pollution. Bill McKibben writes: “Given this hard math, we need to view the fossil-fuel industry in a new light. It has become a rogue industry, reckless like no other force on Earth. It is Public Enemy Number One to the survival of our planetary civilization.”

McKibben goes on to argue that the only force powerful enough to stop the planet destroyers at the helms of these behemoths is widespread moral outrage transformed into a campaign of disinvestment. This worked in the 1980s campaign to stop apartheid by demanding divestment from companies doing business in South Africa. It could work again now if we take enough money away from the corporations committing ecocide. A key part of the anti-apartheid campaign was an alliance of artists making potent music.
