After the demise of the legendary late 80's-early 90's alt-rock band 'Jane's Addiction' the lead singer Perry Farrell and drummer Stephen Perkins formed 'Porno for Pyros'. Their first single "Pets" was released in 1993 and it was as good as anything from 'Jane's Addiction'. The subject matter of "Pets" is about the self destruction of the human race and furthermore about how we would make great pets to any aliens that invaded earth. More than satisfying for the 'Jane's Addiction' fan base.
(lyrics)
children are innocent
a teenager's fucked up in the head
adults are even more fucked up
and elderlies are like children
will there be another race
to come along and take over for us?
maybe martians could do
better than we've done
we'll make great pets!
my friend says we're like the dinosaurs
only we are doing ourselves in
much faster than they
ever did
we'll make great pets!
