Animal Nation Lyrics - Peter Gabriel

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

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 x12 

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
