Lyrics Roger Miller

Roger Miller

The Animal Of Man

His footprints can be found

On the graves of dead young soldiers

On the amber covered plains

Killed by radio-active rains

And his traces can be found

In the dying streams and meadows

And he'll kill you if he can

He's the animal of man

Yes his traces can be found

In the scars of red-skin children

That have never fully healed

Ask a black man how he feels

He's a nervous gifted child

He's an old man been forgotten

He's a military band

He's the animal of man
