lyrics

Strip away neurology
In a DIY lobotomy
You'd kill your own brother, then you'd fuck your own mother
Like a simian sex-pest hanging from a tree

'Cause the people parts like the manners and the arts
Are a veneer as thin as dust
It's an overlay and if you peel it all away
Then you'll realise that you're nothing but a

Hungry animal
Hungry animal
Hungry animal
Hungry animal

Take it right back to the bottom of the stack
To the dinos and the lizards and the snakes
It's all fuck or flight, or take a bite
'Cause your belly is empty and your head is full of rage

So you see what you want and grab it with six claws
And the other fuckers have to go without
It's a reliable compulsion to do the right thing
So survival of the species is never in doubt

'Cause you're a
Hungry animal
Hungry animal
Hungry animal
Hungry animal

(The reptilian complex dominated the brains of dinosaurs
And still controls bird and reptile behaviour
It is responsible for instinctual behaviours
Associated with aggression, dominance and territoriality
The paleo-mammalian brain, or limbic system
Is a set of interconnected brain structures which arose early in mammalian evolution
They are responsible for the motivation and emotion involved in feeding and reproduction
The neo-mammalian complex, or cerebral neocortex
Is found exclusively in higher mammals
And confers the ability for language, abstraction, planning, perception and consciousness
The human brain is made up of reptilian, paleo-mammalian and neo-mammalian structures
So beneath what makes us human is the vestiges of our primitive ancestors)
