About

This song draws a parallel between how a natural predator interacts with the world and with how a modern man interacts with the world. The undertones are sexual and exploitative, essentially concluding that evolution has left us with drives and instincts which set us to cruel purposes.

Predators Lyrics

When we were young we played among the flowers
And sucked upon the nipples of our mothers tits
But now before us all of nature cowers
Through fear and death we've molded our relationship
The breeze is blowing lightly through the tree tops
The sun is out, we're basking in the light of day
The birds are eating bugs out of our sore spots
The clouds are drifting as we dream the hours away (Hey!)

But I got restless, felt a little hungry (uh huh)
So I jumped into my car
Did not go far
Found a parking spot
And jumped out for a walk
Using my eyes, using my ears
I'm walking I'm smelling
I'm walking I'm smelling
Something's cooking
I smell something cooking
Something's cooking
I smell something cooking
It's running, but I'm faster
It's jumping, that's what I'm after

There's new life for us to eat
I prey on the young and weak
There's new life for us to eat
I prey on the young and weak

What's your problem (I don't know), life's a breeze (yeah?)
First you run and then you eat (okay!)
(Ooh!)
The pavement's bubbling tar along the runway
The purring of our engines drives the birds away
A thousand voices call from the arena
A thousand voices call with just one thing to say
When we were young the world was like a vision
The colors and the sounds they took our breath away
But now we watch it all on television
While eating processed meat off of a plastic tray (Hey!)

(Oh good god)
But I got restless (yeah?), felt a little hungry (feelin' a little peckish!)
So I jumped into my car
Did not go far
Found a parking spot
And jumped out for a walk
Using my eyes, using my ears
I'm walking I'm smelling
I'm walking I'm smelling
Something's cooking
I smell something cooking (ooh)
Something's cooking
I smell something cooking
It's running, but I'm faster
It's jumping, that's what I'm after

There's new life for us to eat
I prey on the young and weak
There's new life for us to out
I prey on the young and weak

Life is simple (yup), here's the key (uh huh?)
First you rest and then you feed (oh... boy!)

We're predators (we're predators)
We're predators you and me
I have no blood on my hands
I have blood on my teeth
(screaming, dogs barking)
Relish!
