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
