There was a fox who lived in a hole
Now, I don't think he was very humble
But anyone would do anything
To keep their family alive
Now, this fox
He cheated, he lied, he stole
And to what end?
So they could get out of that hole
In the end, he's just a wild animal
But aren't we all?
We dedicate ourselves
To living the best life
Now I may only be thirteen fox years old
But that's far shorter than any old fox's age
And that old fox is living in a nice tree now
But why? He's in constant danger
So this old fox did what he always does
He cheated and lied and stole
But I don't think in his hubris, he realized
He wasn't thinking of his family
This fox, who I shall not name
Was not the best husband, certainly not a good father
You doubt me? Just ask his son
Jealous of something he can never attain
And this fox did what he wanted
No cares in the world
Endangering his family
And now they live in a sewer
And he lost his tail
I know, I know
This wasn't what you expected, was it?
A sad ending A father, mother, son, and nephew
All trapped and starving
Well, this nephew had become ensnared
Because of the fox we won't name
And none other than the son saved him
Tired of being nothing
But in the end we were all okay
And I think that fox learned a good lesson
We are all wild animals
Prey to our instincts
Now here's the more personal part
I'm done giving you a summary
We cannot be blind to our family
That's how they die
So hold on to your vision
Your very life
A part of me is tired
I'm homesick, I'm stuck in a sewer
I'm cold, I'm tired, I want to see the sun
But having the fox I won't name with me, and his wife and son
It's not so bad, I guess
I'm a wild animal, so are you
And we all crave one thing
Something close and unattainable
Something temporary and constant
Here's to our survival
We can all at least agree on that, can't we?
