From the recording Nirvana in REM
Lyrics
Deep in the jungle where the lion sleeps
Someone with a gun waits quietly
It’s man versus wild
The smell of trouble and an unfair fight
Where it’s just for fun at market price
It’s hardly survival
In the Eye of the Animal, so much sorrow
In the Eye of the Animal, a lost tomorrow
Out in the ocean where the dolphin dance
Someone’s with a line and a cash advance
But no compassion
An arctic erosion under global heat
‘Cause we’ve crossed the line for our energy
The temperature’s rising
In the Eye of the Animal, so much sorrow
In the Eye of the Animal, a lost tomorrow
