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
Writer(s): Gloria Jones, Pamela Joan Sawyer
