LYRICS
I've seen a starving mother eat her young I've seen a desperate man give up his son I've seen the one who rules on high
Say "Crush the grapes, and bring the wine"
But I've never seen an animal like you
I've seen a sultan kill a man for god I've seen a witness trampled by a mob I've seen his picture in the hall
With nothing in the frame at all But I've never seen an animal like you
Chorus:
Hey, Hey, Hey Where'd you get that ten horn hat
Hey, Hey, Hey
And that drunkard on your back
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey
Come darkness at the break of day
What kind of animal could leave a mark like that
I've seen a justice lie to tip the scale I've seen a prophet silent in a jail I've seen businessmen speak dark and low
To stoke the fire down deep below
But I've never seen an animal like you
Chorus
I've seen a seeker helpless in a fog I've seen a priest give comfort to a dog I've seen a girl who fell so hard
She took in strangers by the yard But I've never seen an animal like you
Bridge:
But of all the things I've had to view
Every one I did and did not choose
Be they foul or righteous, false or true
I have never once seen anything like you
Chorus
