"Inner Man" lyrics - ADRIAN BELEW

My inner man is an animal
He comes to me in a rage
He'll probably 'cause me trouble
If I ever let him out of his cage
He's angry about everything
He speaks before he thinks

My inner man is an animal
My inner man (inner man) is an animal

He challenges and he ravages
Anyone who stands in his way
And he leaves me with the damages
And apologies I have to make
Well he'll argue over anything
He speaks before he thinks

My inner man is an animal
My inner man (inner man) is an animal

Well here he comes
He's like a time bomb
He's like a gun
He's aimed at anyone
Self-righteous and full of pride
He's got it all bottled up inside

Well here he comes
He's like a time bomb
He's like a gun
He's aimed at anyone
He's self-righteous and full of pride
He's got it all bottled up inside

He's just an animal

Some people are full of peace
Some people are never pleased
But I've seen how I can be
And I know underneath I'm only a beast

My inner man
Inner man
