You gotta be crazy, you gotta have a real need.
You gotta sleep with one eye open, and when you're on the street
You gotta be able to pick out the easy meat with your eyes closed
And then moving in silently, downwind and out of sight.
You gotta strike when the moment is right without thinking.
And after a while, you can work on points for style
Like the club tie, and a firm handshake
A certain look in the eye, and an easy smile
You have

04 Sheep (10:20)
Harmlessly passing your time in the grassland away
Only dimly aware of a certain unease in the air
You better watch out
There may be dogs about
I've looked over Jordan and I have seen
Things are not what they seem
What do you get for pretending the danger's not real
Meek and obedient you follow the leader
Down well-trodden corridors into the valley of steel
What a surprise!
A look of terminal shock in your eyes
Now things are really what they seem
No, this is not a bad dream
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want
He makes me down to lie
Through pastures green he leadeth me the silent waters by
With bright knives he releaseth my soul
He maketh me to hang on hooks in high places
He converteth me to lamb cutlets
For lo, he hath great power, and great hunger
When cometh the day we lowly ones
Through quiet reflection and great dedication
Master the art of karate
Lo, we shall rise up
And then we'll make the bugger's eyes water
Bleating and babbling we fell on his neck with a scream
Wave upon wave of demented avengers
March cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream
Have you heard the news?
The dogs are dead!
You better stay home
And do as you're told
Get out of the road if you want to grow old

An inexhaustible mine of emotions. With each listen, new nuggets that shine in our hands.
The reference to Orwellian allegory is immediate. Dogs, pigs, or sheep.
By AngeloLecce87
An angry yet determined Waters delivers lyrics that seem like cries of protest against those who pretend not to hear.
Here are the true Pink Floyd, those Pink Floyd who freely unleash their genius even if at times the musical ideas are not particularly catchy.
By FLOYDMAN
The beloved sound masters unleashed their most aggressive, hostile, and frightening album, the third piece of the trilogy on the squalor of the human condition: Animals.
I don’t think there is an album that better depicts the characteristics of the human race; the powerful, the sycophants, the ignored and blind masses.

We are in front of those pieces that will never bore, not even on the millionth listen.
Dear Roger, you are the Goliath defeated by a timeless David...
By joe strummer
"Animals is nihilism, pessimism, it is Punk disguised as luxurious rock."
"Waters' cosmic pessimism leads him to create this concept that divides men into pigs, dogs, and sheep."
