Lyrics:

We need a song
It's in G sharp
About the world
Is run by keepers
With keeper beaks
And keeper eyes
Too close together
You could do it better with a
Blunt pencil and a
Payphone

Lions and tigers eat the same bits as each other
Lions and tigers eat the same bits as each other

In the bathroom, in the mirror
In the mirror, in the skin

I know your life gets painful sometimes
I know your life gets painful sometimes

I screwed up when I was young, but must I keep on paying for it?
Yes you must
Yes you must
Until you let yourself go

Lions and Tigers meet the same fate as each other
As each other
