Wildlife includes all non-domesticated plants, animals and other organisms. Domesticating wild plant and animal species for human benefit has occurred many times all over the planet, and has a major impact on the environment, both positive and negative.
Wildlife can be found in all ecosystems. Deserts, forests, rain forests, plains, grasslands, and other areas including the most developed urban sites, all have distinct forms of wildlife. While the term in popular culture usually refers to animals that are untouched by human factors, most scientists agree that wildlife around the world is impacted by human activities.
Humans have historically tended to separate civilization from wildlife in a number of ways including the legal, social, and moral sense. This has been a reason for debate throughout recorded history. Religions have often declared certain animals to be sacred, and in modern times concern for the natural environment has provoked activists to protest the exploitation of wildlife for human benefit or entertainment. Literature has also made use of the traditional human separation from wildlife.

Maybe I'm just a loser
Maybe it's because my boots ain't as clean as they could be
Came to town with an even chance
I'm feeling down the people I meet ain't fair to me
Gave it a try but now I'm ready to cry
And run back to the place where I was raised
Maybe I'm just unfortunate
Maybe I'm alone in thinking that I've got a lot to say
Too far in to be anywhere
Lost in the place where nobody seems to know the way
Gave it a try but now I'm ready to cry
And run back to the place where I was raised
Home is where I wanna be
Home is where you'll always see
Friendly faces that'll never turn you down
Or say goodbye
Maybe I'm just a loser
Maybe it's because my boots ain't as clean as they could be

And run back to the place where I was raised
Home is where I wanna be
Home is where you'll always see
Friendly faces that'll never turn you down

Last night I could tell when you were sleeping
You dreamt about easier times
When your friends were around and they called you on the
weekend
And you knew where all the people hung out
They said, "we'll take you downtown and show you around"
They'll take you downtown, and show you around
I'm worried when you wake up
In the morning that you'll find that
Everything's the same and you'll want to
Go back to sleep for the day
You'll think when we were younger
Were they joking when they told us
That things should work out if you try your best
Not to scream or shout
After sundown, before sleeping, I am the worst of me. I am a mess of these
Old themes and the murmur of half-dreams whisper seductively and
Stage scenes.
It's fear fiction, these visions, caught somewhere between delusion and
Prophesy.
What I haven't done, what I've wanted to, and what I fear you have
Becomes reality here.
Bright lights in the young night keep to the beat.
A classic party scene, crowded and interesting.
No love, no life, no history.
Just touch, just chemistry, just
A roaring undercurrent simple and sensory.
Young bodies, warm skin, perfect symmetry and
It's a moment, harmless. It's energy.
It's like medicine,
It's self-discovery.
See, all the secrets I keep, why are they secrets?
It's only temporary, that fleeting feeling of warmth,
Just a flash before the line gets blurry,
Between a longing for more than what the body wants now and
What the body wants now more than anything.
Was it integrity that kept my hands to myself or
Just the thought of getting too far ahead of you?
Was it that I got too tired of the consequence?
Or was I just scared?
I only know I never wanted to get left behind.
No pauses, not a second guess.
First a swaying then a stumble then a swagger.
They're just movements towards feeling. It doesn't matter
Neither hesitates to carry on a kind of energy,
Sweat and block out everything to
Find every aperture and compel the animal parts.
Fan flames, taste fruit, taste bitter fruit.
Just trying to learn how all the wires in the body work.
Just trying to feel it out, it's like medicine.
Trap the healing in whatever bed they end up in.
I want to feel it out. I want to know how it works.
I want to know if it was worth it to worry,
About the ghosts I feared would haunt the memory,
About the damage that I'm sure the fear has done to me now.
I want to know what it is in me that won't follow through
Those nights the instinct takes a hold of me and pushes too.
Maybe it's only that I've never gotten over you.
Or am I still scared?
I see the church steps, a vision. Is there fiction in this one too?
It's true, I've made a tale of it here, still, it's a little unclear who's
Been haunting who.
And time can be such a funny thing, always moving to the future
Glorifying the past and amplifying the pain in frames and glass.
So was our touch half as sacred as I've made it seem
Or just another fabrication of a half-dream?
Just those chemicals, the adolescent love.
Just us trying to grasp onto meaning,
Onto a purpose,
Onto a sense that
Something spiritual releases when the feeling hits.
And when the feeling hits.
And in that moment sparks and harps play out
A sweeping melody through fog and fantasy
And in that moment there's an honesty instinctive and pure but
It departs like it came, rapid and bearing no more
Than fleeting ecstasy of natural harmony.
They fear the notes being played and try to sing along.
Don't be ashamed, be free to the feeling. Don't be ashamed, keep feeling.
But find it: a body that makes sense.
I've felt it.
All the faces with one expression
Behind the windows, we're all down at heel
Don't expect us to do you favours
It's just the way that we feel
Get ready for some action
Get ready wildlife
Get ready it's our reaction
Get ready wildlife
Breaking loose, the only solution
We're getting well outta line
We don't follow, won't swallow
They're gonna find out
We've got our own minds
Get ready for some action
Get ready wildlife
Get ready it's our reaction
Get ready wildlife
Get ready for some action
Get ready wildlife
Get ready it's our reaction
Get ready wildlife
Get ready for some action
Get ready wildlife
Get ready it's our reaction
Your soul is tired
Feeling old
Got no style
And though it’s buried
Deep in the ground
You can find your smile
You got away from me for way too long
You’ve got a way
Do you ever stop to wonder
Would you feel the blade
Of the falling guillotine
Do you wonder
Will it ever stop
Will it end your suffering
And I know
Cause it’s the same for me
An insane belief
About a screaming bird
That’s buried in your chest
Below the neck
I’ll pull it out for you again
You got away from me for way too long
You’ve got a way
Do you ever stop to wonder
Would you feel the blade
Of the falling guillotine
Do you wonder
Will it ever stop
Will it end your suffering
Jut say the words
And I will save you now
Jut say the words
Jut say the words
And I will save you now
Jut say the words
Do you ever stop to wonder
Would you feel the blade
Of the falling guillotine
Do you wonder
Will it ever stop
Will it end your suffering
You want to break my heart in ten
Drain the blood before you go
Make me a meal of the truth
A kingdom of honest stone
You want to break my heart in ten
Drain the blood before you go
So we can watch it all rain down
And see the saddest garden grow
Don’t’ fear
Your heart dear
It’s saving you
Looks like
We've gone too far
In a matter of time
You'll all be stars
Some nights
I drag this line
All alone
Feel it break
And cut inside
The past is just a bridge
We burned down
Behind us
When we left this town
Running from the blinding heat
of our
disaster
When we left this town
Looks like
You've gone too far
So get in line
With the morning star
The past is just a bridge
We burned down
Behind us
When we left this town
Running from the blinding heat
of our
disaster
When we left this town
You can rely on me
I will always let you down
You can rely on me
We’ll be waiting when the rapture comes
And you and I will lay there arm in arm
Seems things just got a little bit hard
So far away from who we know we are
So take it, take it, shut you eyes and say
The pill will make the terror go away
One for the body, one for the mind
Just give me a little bit
One for the body, one for the mind
Just give me a little bit
One for the body, one for the mind
One for the body, one for the mind
Just give me a little bit
Each of us is just a time machine
Stuck in love with all our memories
Seems things just got a little bit hard
So far away from who we know we are
So take it, take it, shut you eyes and say
A pill to make the terror go away
Angel of loneliness,
Come to destroy us,
Angel of loneliness,
Come to destroy us again.
One for the body, one for the mind
Just give me a little bit
One for the body, one for the mind
Just give me a little bit
One for the body, one for the mind
One for the body, one for the mind
You've got to give it time
Because time is all there is
And though your heart sat next to mine
If it breaks I'll give it back
So did into my chest
And take what I can't give
There's a reason this muscle
Is the strongest that there is
Your soul is tired
Feeling old
Got no style
And though it’s buried
Deep in the ground
You can find your smile
You got away from me for way too long
You’ve got a way
Do you ever stop to wonder
Would you feel the blade
Of the falling guillotine
Do you wonder
Will it ever stop
Will it end your suffering
And I know
Cause it’s the same for me
An insane belief
About a screaming bird
That’s buried in your chest
Below the neck
I’ll pull it out for you again
You got away from me for way too long
You’ve got a way
Do you ever stop to wonder
Would you feel the blade
Of the falling guillotine
Do you wonder
Will it ever stop
Will it end your suffering
Jut say the words
And I will save you now
Jut say the words
Jut say the words
And I will save you now
Jut say the words
Do you ever stop to wonder
Would you feel the blade
Of the falling guillotine
Do you wonder
Will it ever stop
When two hearts race
They both win
They both win
Baby they both win
When two hearts race
They both win
They both win
Baby they both win
I was lost in the wild
Stuck in the middle of forests
And you guided me home
I thought that I was dying
You reached out and lifted
This bag of rattling bones
When two hearts race
They both win
They both win
Baby they both win
When two hearts race
They both win
They both win
Baby they both win
I was lost in the wild
Stuck in the middle of forests
And you guided me home
I thought that I was dying
You reached out and lifted
This bag of rattling bones
Deaf and dumb
Blind and numb
Watch as you go
Cool and calm
Carry on
How can you go
I was lost in the wild
Stuck in the middle of forests
And you guided me home
I thought that I was dying
You reached out and lifted
Wildlife,
One life,
My life,
Nightlife
Noises and whispers
Make me shiver inside
Slithering creatures
In the dead of the night
Here in the jungle
It's a frantic night out
The quiet is broken
By crickets and owls
In our khaki and green
We blend in well
Our purpose unseen
Getting harder to tell
Wildlife...
Old lion's resting
Tigers look on
Commandos make ready
To building new homes
Conviction and power
Will win over fear
So voodoos are broken
And pulpits appear
In our khaki and green
We blend in well
Our purpose unseen
Getting harder to tell
Wildlife...
Taxis are waiting
Lined up in a row
To speed me through dangers
To some place I know
Back in the city
It's business again
The hunting is different
The hunter the same.
In our khaki and green
We blend in well
Our purpose unseen
Getting harder to tell
I woke up in a room
Like I always do
Found myself alone
Before the ringing telephone
Screaming into view
There were books
And dead guitars
And a face that looked like you
But it was just a mask
Staring from the past
I put it on
I saw a vision from my youth
Oooh
Walked . the window
And saw something orange and bright
I lifted up the blind
And I was blinded by the light
And in some abandoned car
Somebody I once knew
Summoned all the pain
And shouted out your name
They said this is our second coming
These are dangerous times
They are hard to understand
If you don t feel it in your heart
You ll never hold it in your hands
These are dangerous times
And really hard to understand
If you don t get it through your head
You ll never hold it in your hands
It s crashed through a building
And it s rising on up
And all the windows are breaking
And the stairs are now hallways
And the hallways are deep, deep holes
And there's is 3 . of air
Till we breath water through our soul
So take me by the wrist
Drag me out from all of this
Take me by the arms and legs and chest
And rip me from the anger
And take me from my home
My home s become the water
And take me by the hand
If I d ever give a damn
I could leave this place right now
And never show my face again
Dangerous times
They are hard to understand
If you don t feel it in your heart
You ll never hold it in your hands
These are dangerous times
And really hard to understand
If you don t get it through your head
You ll never hold it in your hands
Saturday was a good day for you to go
You've been falling in your own home
In a room with the curtains drawn
You can hear the telephone song
There are cars on the street below
There are people out there you know
And the phone is the final thing
That will make your falling ears ring
You came to me in dreams
Came to me in sleep
Shining in the dark
You were shining like a new star
I thought I say you wave
From inside a subway car
Like it was nothing at all
Like it was nothing at all
I thought I saw you run
Your red hair the colour of fall
Like it was nothing at all
Like it was nothing at all
You wave
You run
Like it was nothing at all
Like it was nothing at all
You wave
You run
Like it was nothing at all
Mommy told me she has everything I want
Mommy told me that I should not worry 'bout nothing else
Mommy told me that I can't do what I want
Mommy told me
But she's only thinking about herself
Can't think about nothing else
I'm thinking about myself
Time to leave and it's just as well
'cause I can't help thinking there's something else
Wildlife
So I told he that I must have something more than she offered
And she should not worry about my health
I'm a big boy, not her little boy no more
I'm a big boy and I must learn how to protect myself
Hold my own when they give me hell
She can worry about herself
Tiny eagles must leave their nest
Wild horses withstand the test
Old lovers become estranged
Little boys who can't help but change
We hold on | and stay up all night
Strayed a little far from the beaten path
I saw my reason lifting off the ground
And I heard you whisper | I’m gone
No time to question the values or reasons why
I’m just not living | the | wild life
I wish | I wish | I could stay here | stay here for days
Got a lot on your plate | got to get on | my way
I picture a conscious feeling
Better than high
I’m just not living | the | wild life
And if I learn to sleep
I will learn to tell time
And when I tell time
I sleep all the while
When I sleep
I might hope to survive
The losing of you
This is the story of two lovers: anemone and kerosene
Liquid burning, like torch at the bottom of the sea.
Never tell me the awful things you have done for money
And dress me in the clothes of my younger days when you bury me.
Cause it was all a bad, bad dream
It was all a bad, bad, bad dream
It was all a bad, bad, bad, bad dream
We never saw anything, it was only light reflecting
We walked to the water arms in arm as friends
But when we crossed over we were lovers swimming in the bitter end
And a valley stretched before us but the grass was laden with mines
And with every explosion came a swing of the wrecking ball of time
But it was all a bad, bad dream
It was all a bad, bad, bad dream
It was all a bad, bad, bad, bad dream
We never saw anything, it was only light reflecting
So put on a smile, when the tears start to fall
Baby we were born to ruin
With a stake, and a stone
Through the heart
Cover your eyes up a little
Just a little
Empty room
In the heat
Of the dark
In the heat
Of the dark
Baby we were born to ruin
With a stake, and a stone
Through the heart
Cover your eyes up a little
Just a little
Empty room
In the heat
Of the dark
In the heat
Of the dark
There will be stains
And unholy chains
When you talk
In matters of love
But the beast isn't blind
And is often unkind
And hammers can fall
From above
But if you do your best
And I do my best
We can have it
We will rage and ravage
Baby we were born to ruin
Baby we were born to ruin
