God made the animals
And put em on the earth
Part of a delicate plan
I ain’t real religious
But I tip him my hat
For makin me what I am
Coulda been a carrot
Or a little bitty fly
Put me in a horrible mood
But nothin like the thought
Of myself bein caught
And turned into predator food
On my way up the food chain
I’m on my way up the food chain
I ain’t gunna stop
Till I get to t-the top
Of the food chain
Now some folks lead
The vegetarian life
Thinkin plants don’t feel no pain
But if I was a salad
Gettin all chewed up
I think it would drive me insane
(chorus)
Dogs eat rabbits
And frogs eat bugs
And monkeys eat bananas
by the bunch
So don’t go swimmin
In shark infested waters
Unless you wanna be
Somebody’s lunch
(chorus)
Concrete spreadin out
All over the land
The fight for survival
Is gettin outta hand
What ya gunna do
When the balance gets thrown
You can’t go eatin
All the stuff that you own
They call it a food chain
Cause when it gets broke
Somebody stops eatin
And that ain’t no joke
Lions in the jungle
Vultures in a tree
I don’t like the way
They’re lookin at me
