Lyrics

Zoo The human zoo We're free As a caged chimpanzee Right Or really wrong Disguised in life As human right And they call us a civilization We're treated like animals outside our cages If people see that you're tryin' They tear you up like hungry lion Inside the zoo The human zoo What can I do It's gonna prove Just give your friend a break He'll bite the hand that feeds him like a rattlesnake And don't shut your eyes and try to sleep Otherwise, another dog will steal your meat Inside the zoo The human zoo What can I do It's gonna prove Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya, ya Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya Ya, ya, ya, ya Zoo The human zoo We're free As a caged chimpanzee I don't like to get down on their level I bet it's your turn, I know it's terrible It's true The human zoo, now Not like they do, no I will prove For me and you, girl That inside of you I love you too I want you too In this human zoo, lord I'm comin' Uh huh, in this human zoo I'm gonna do this for me and you Oh, I'm going to the zoo
