There was a time back in the day The struggle seemed to lead somewhere I was mining in the mountains Now I'm mining on the open plain Look at me like you never try That'll never wash over me, no We are the men, this is our war You and I we both want more But it ain't about the power or take I just want something to make Serving up the modern lies That'll never be enough for me, no I've got to bend it till it breaks With animal magic Screeching out across the alps in a runaway car It's my home for now What a home can be The sea's behind my mirror hand I won't be responsible for local suffering The starving face it pull me in They need my change and so I'll give But the men will eat while the women wait and I'll still be getting my 5 a day Say it ain't wrong, say it ain't right But that won't be enough to keep me grateful No, I've got to bend it till it breaks With animal magic
