So we were walking around the zoo in Barcelona
We were looking at some elephants and shit
We took pictures of the tigers, they were sleeping
And we were having beer by the bear pit

And the monkeys they look just like us
They hug their children just like us
They close their eyes look just like our
They climb real fast that's not like us

And we are enjoying life at the zoo in Barcelona
We take pictures of a crocodile in the mud
We laugh at one big fat alligators sleeping
While we all know he could kill us all he could

And that gives us all adrenaline
It's like a rollercoaster ride
Knowing he could kill us all
But we are the ones who're looking at him
And that guy threw some bread at him
And we must be the best species cause we can build weapons and obsess over things
And the internet
But we wouldn't survive a swim next to him

Went back to the center had some wine at the square
People were behaving badly but there weren't monkeys anywhere
People spoke about interesting things but they were not aware
Of the wrong beings of there not being any monkeys anywhere

And even if you knew it, it'd be too uncomfortable to care
That there really is no sense that there aren't any monkeys anywhere

I had a drink and watched the soccer game and then I forgot
To think about why the monkeys are locked up, and why we're not
I had a drink and watched a soccer game and then I forgot
To think about why the monkeys are locked up, and why we're not
