|
I'm chained to the wall |
|
I'm nothing at all |
|
And my eyes look into the sunset thinking of better things to do |
|
Like a monkey in a zoo |
|
The days go so slow |
|
I don't have no friends |
|
Except all these people who want me to do tricks for them |
|
Like a monkey in a zoo |
|
And it could happen to you |
|
You could be in my place |
|
No it wasn't always like this |
|
Oh but i never saw it coming |
|
I'm so alone |
|
But this is my home |
|
And the bars that surround me keep me from knowing any better |
|
Like a monkey in a zoo |
|
Throw me a peanut |
|
Laugh and make jokes |
|
But i've had enough peanuts and i'm ready to croak |
|
Like a monkey in a zoo |
|
You come to look at me |
|
You seem so amused |
|
But things would look different |
|
If you were in my shoes |
|
I know it's my fault |
|
But i want out |
|
And when i cry out nobody seems to understand |
|
Like a monkey in a zoo |
|
You say i'm cute |
|
You don't know how much that hurts |
|
You don't know how it feels to live in your own dirt |
|
Like a monkey in a zoo |
|
And it could happen to you |
|
You could be in my place |
|
Don't let yourself slip |
|
Don't keep egg on your face |
|
I used to be happy |
|
I can't remember those days |
|
But i sold my freedom for free room and board |
|
Like a monkey in a zoo |
