They'd spend a lifetime and fight over lines
Which you and me could never control
I'm feeling a sense of imaginable loss
Over people I don't even know

We used to be such intelligent animals, oh
Lamenting the loss of intelligent animals
If Darwin could see what we turned out to be
He'd probably admit he was wrong

So pray did St. Christopher down on your knees
'Cause in 50 years, we'll all be gone, oh, oh

We used to be such intelligent animals, ooh
So tell me where are these intelligent animals, ooh
Keep walking away, you Intelligent animals
Animals, animals

Ooh, now we behave like we lost our control
Now we behave like we lost our control
Now we behave like

Because Darfur is a place without history
Darfur is a place without politics
Darfur is simply a dot on the map

It is simply a place, a site
Where perpetrator confronts victim
And the perpetrator's name is Arab
And the victim's name is African

And it is easy to demonize
It is easy to hold a moral position
Which is emptied of its political content
This bothered me and so I wrote about it

Ooh, oh, intelligent animals
Intelligent animals
Intelligent animals
Intelligent animals
And animals, animals
