"The Wild Animals"
this song became the title track, based on the strength of it as an opening number.
the sequencing of the album became important after my decision to use this one as an opener,
because of how intense this one is,
and the 2nd song (michael's house) had to equal it in temperment.
This song was probably the 5th or 6th song in order of writing...
i wrote the drum track first, and immediately locked onto the main rhythm riff...
it was an exercise in stripping down a more progressive riff, to it's most basic elements.
again, this was an influence of direction directly from Queens of the Stone Age, which i had been listening to quite a lot at the time...
i like the way they write things almost as if they are little symphonies,
lots of parts, but never more than a couple at a time,
like directing a choir pit full of punk rockers that have taste and timing.
LOL
the message in this one is simple:
it's my public service announcement about the opoid crisis.
the "wild animals" can be whatever you think they should be.
The wild animals
Just because they smile, and grease back their hair,
Doesn’t mean there’s any kind of heart in there
They’ll give you pellets of poison to put in your tea,
They say there’s nothing phucking wrong with me
Please, do not feed the wild animals
Better left alone, the wild animals
It’s a kick back, kick you, nothing you can really do,
If you give em a chance, they’ll chase you into the
Afterlife too!
“lets book a trip to the riviera, sarah, bring the doctor along”
“nobody will miss us back home”,
When the sh!t goes wrong
Please, do not feed the wild animals
Better left alone, the wild animals
It’s just the modern chemistry, the artistry of grabbing by the short hairs,
They stay awake at night, and they count their money til the
Morning light
It’s a cautionary tale… that we all can relate
It’s a taste of a real time devils delight
At the cocktail party, or the local church family affair
The poison pellets are playing truth or dare.
Please, do not feed the wild animals
Better left alone, the wild animals
