daniel johnston – like a monkey in a zoo lyrics
i’m chained to the wall.
i have nothin’ at all.
and my eyes look into the sunset
thinkin’ 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,
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 choke,
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 its my fault,
but i want out.
and when i cry out
n-body 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 cant remember those days.
but i sold my freedom
for free room and board,
like a monkey in a zoo.
