Animal Kingdom

Prince · The Truth [1998]

I saw a friend of mine today

In an ad sayin' what would do my body good

I told him he was wasting time I say

If God wanted milk in me

The breast I suck would have a line around the hood



No member of the animal kingdom nurses past maturity

No member of the animal kingdom ever did a thing to me

It's why I don't eat red meat or white fish

Don't give me no blue cheese

We're all members of the animal kingdom

Leave your brothers and sisters in the sea



Animal, animal kingdom [2x]



Who told us we should eat the swine?

You can bet your final money it damn sure wasn't no friend of

mine

What about the clams on the shore?

Souls in progress, here come the fisherman, soul no more



No member of the animal kingdom nurses past maturity

(nurses past, oh yeah)

No member of the animal kingdom ever did a thing to me

(ever did a damn thing)

So I don't eat no red meat or white fish

Or funky, funky blue cheese

We're all members of the animal kingdom

Leave your brothers and sisters in the sea



Animal, animal kingdom [3x]
