A#m
I'm mad and that's a fact
I found out animals don't help
Animals think they're pretty smart
Shit on the ground, see in the dark

G                           F
They wander around like a crazy dog
Make a mistake in the parking lot
Always bumping into things
Always let you down down down down.

Animals think they understand
Trusting them, a big mistake
Animals want to change my life
I will ignore animals' advice

Chorus:
They're never there when you need them
They're never there when you call them
They're never there when you need them
They're never there when you call them down,
down, down, down

I know the animals are laughing at us
Don't even know what a joke is
I won't follow animals' advice
I don't care if they're laughing at us

Chorus:
They're never there when you need them
They're never there when you call them
They're never there when you need them
They're never there when you call them down,
down, down
Ah, ah, ah

They think everything’s nice

They like to laugh at people
They’re setting a bad example
