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
