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

Cool. 
Got a hint of DP from the Coverdale/Hughes era and even Rainbow from the Dio period, despite the lack of a heavy organ.
I like it.

Rocks hard. Sounds great. Everybody is doing their part real well and it comes together into a real blast. Good message too. 

[Old Joad]

Great hard rocker! The vocals are amazing.

Very cool song and excellent performances. Bapu, did you hire these musicians to perform on your song?

A great power-house of a song.  All of the performers did an excellent job and the mix sounds good.

Great work guys!

Stinging guitar, thumping bass, what's not to like about this.  Very well done rocker!

Vocals and Guitars were from "outside" the band Citizen Regen since I did not think this song was in the style of Citizen Regen.

This popped up, (I wonder how that happend) sounds like a classic Eduardo mix, reasonably balanced mix, some talented playing.
