[00:00.36]I'm chained to the wall
[00:04.20]I'm nothing at all
[00:08.13]And my eyes look into the sunset thinking of better things to do
[00:11.70]Like a monkey in a zoo
[00:14.37]The days go so slow
[00:17.88]I don't have no friends
[00:21.96]Except all these people who want me to do tricks for them
[00:25.47]Like a monkey in a zoo
[00:31.68]And it could happen to you
[00:34.92]You could be in my place
[00:38.52]No it wasn't always like this
[00:41.88]Oh but i never saw it coming
[00:46.50]I'm so alone
[00:49.26]But this is my home
[00:53.22]And the bars that surround me keep me from knowing any better
[00:56.73]Like a monkey in a zoo
[00:59.13]Throw me a peanut
[01:00.99]Laugh and make jokes
[01:06.72]But i've had enough peanuts and i'm ready to croak
[01:10.23]Like a monkey in a zoo
[01:15.90]You come to look at me
[01:19.32]You seem so amused
[01:23.52]But things would look different
[01:26.67]If you were in my shoes
[01:31.62]I know it's my fault
[01:35.67]But i want out
[01:38.91]And when i cry out nobody seems to understand
[01:42.45]Like a monkey in a zoo
[01:45.00]You say i'm cute
[01:48.54]You don't know how much that hurts
[01:52.77]You don't know how it feels to live in your own dirt
[01:56.28]Like a monkey in a zoo
[02:02.13]And it could happen to you
[02:05.43]You could be in my place
[02:09.03]Don't let yourself slip
[02:12.39]Don't keep egg on your face
[02:17.43]I used to be happy
[02:20.19]I can't remember those days
[02:24.18]But i sold my freedom for free room and board
[02:27.63]Like a monkey in a zoo

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
