About the Artist
Lyrics
I'm chained to the wall I have nothin' at all And I'm staring at 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 for all these people who want me to do tricks for them Like a money in a zoo And it could happen to you You could be in my place Know it always wasn't like this Oh, but I never saw it comin' I'm so alone But this is my home And the bars that surround me keep me from knowin' 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've 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 said 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 remember those days But I sold my freedom for free room and board Like a monkey in a zoo
