Lyrics
Living Zoo
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
We know where we wanna go
But we can't tell
On our own how to navigate
Our way through hell
Sometimes when you wake up
(Sometimes wake up lonely)
You feel alone
Somehow we get over it
(Somehow keep it going)
And you go on
Ahhh
That's alright
Ahhh
We're doing fine
They say there's a part of us
We can't explain
Please say you'll do anything
To make me stay
Being a human
Being an animal too
Being in a cage and
Being a living zoo
Being a person
Being an animal too
Being all alone and
Being all me and you
Cause we're lions in our cages
And tigers in tiny spaces
