7. Animals on the Roof (5:12)
We still stand out
It's the way since the days of our youth
The strangest sight
Like animals on the roof
We were never ones to run with the in-crowd
But it's time they listen up
They fall in line and keep on marching through
They never stop to see the world like we do
They don't believe the flood is coming soon
But we know the truth, we're animals on the roof
They box us in
With nowhere we can move to escape
We sound alarms
Their denial will seal their fate
It they only saw what we can see from here
They would start to listen up
They fall in line and keep on marching through
They never stop to see the world like we do
They don't believe the flood is coming soon
But we know the truth, we're animals on the roof
There was something that pulled us to this place
A dull rumbling sound
There were chances to join with the choruses
We just never came down
We stand our ground
Even though they keep saying we're wrong
The evidence
Proves we were right all along
We always too the heat for going our own way
But we'll be here when they're gone
They fall in line and keep on marching through
They never stop to see the world like we do
They don't believe the flood is coming soon
But we know the truth, we're animals on the roof
We can stand on the truth, we're animals on the roof
It's the way since the days of our youth
The strangest sight
Like animals on the roof
We were never ones to run with the in-crowd
But it's time they listen up
They fall in line and keep on marching through
They never stop to see the world like we do
They don't believe the flood is coming soon
But we know the truth, we're animals on the roof
They box us in
With nowhere we can move to escape
We sound alarms
Their denial will seal their fate
It they only saw what we can see from here
They would start to listen up
They fall in line and keep on marching through
They never stop to see the world like we do
They don't believe the flood is coming soon
But we know the truth, we're animals on the roof
There was something that pulled us to this place
A dull rumbling sound
There were chances to join with the choruses
We just never came down
We stand our ground
Even though they keep saying we're wrong
The evidence
Proves we were right all along
We always too the heat for going our own way
But we'll be here when they're gone
They fall in line and keep on marching through
They never stop to see the world like we do
They don't believe the flood is coming soon
But we know the truth, we're animals on the roof
We can stand on the truth, we're animals on the roof
