Verse 1:
What has become of the world today
By the ones who think they know best
We gained so much they threw it away
There’s nothing left for the rest of us

Chorus:
Animal Instincts rule the day
We have no control over the way
We behave when we fear
Any danger that may appear
Animal instincts will always rule the day

Bridge:
If we rise together we can win
And take back what was lost
We don’t have to live with all this sin
We’ll do what we can no matter the cost

Verse 2:
The world is upside down I see
What was truth replaces with lies
Virtue has gone extinct slowly
All that’s left is the battle cries

Chorus:
Animal Instincts rule the day
We have no control over the way
We behave when we fear
Any danger that may appear
Animal instincts will always rule the day

Bridge:
If we rise together we can win
And take back what was lost
We don’t have to live with all this sin
We’ll do what we can no matter the cost

Chorus:
Animal Instincts rule the day
We have no control over the way
We behave when we fear
Any danger that may appear
Animal instincts will always rule the day

@bapu That is a very well written song, excellent playing, excellent vocals, excellent mix. Kudos to everyone involved in this. It rocks!!! This absolutely will make the LinkedMusicians SoundCloud playlist. Superb.

It sounds like everything was live instruments (as opposed to MIDI/plugin instruments/sample libraries). Is that right? It sounds like a killer band.

BTW, if you just cut and paste the link in — as opposed to using the link icon — the system will automatically embed the SoundCloud Player into your post, like this:

Thanks for the comments.

Yes, everything was played live. As was the case with The Enemy Within Is Us.

And the same for all the Citizen Regen stuff too.

Sometimes I wonder why I keep buying libraries and VSTi plugins.

How come I can’t edit my OP now? That’s weird.

I’m in SoCal, the drummer is in Portugal, the singer is Greece and the Guitar Player is the UK (I think). Not too bad for a virtual “live” band IMO.

I stand corrected, the guitar player is from Alberta Canada.

Cool song, kind of reminds me of Triumph, and I like the stock market subtext, very clever.

And like all your songs the lyrics are great (side note, don’t you find it strange that most people don’t mention the lyrics?)

anyway, great job I really liked this one 🤘

Updated mix with Dave “Bitflipper” Townsend on keys.

Dang, I can’t edit the OP to place the correct link and update Dave on keys.

The site is set up here and in the GROUPS so that everyone is able to edit their past posts. I’ll check your account to see if there’s something wrong and report back here. We’ll get this sorted.

Very cool tune, really rocking and rollicking! Well composed, and solid performances by everyone. Production sounds great also. Great work all around here!
