vic chesnutt – like a monkey in the zoo lyrics
i’m chained to the wall
i’m nothing at all
and my staring at the sunset
thinking of better things to do
like a monkey in a zoo
the days go so slow
and i don’t have no friends
except for all of 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 all ways like this
oh, but i never coming
i’m so alone
but this my home
and the bars that surround me
keep me from knowing any better
like a monkey in the zoo
throw me a peanut
laugh and make jokes
but i 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
n-body seemed 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 the zoo
and it could happen to you
you could be in my place
but don’t let yourself slip
don’t keep egg on your face (?)
i use to be happy
i can remember those days
but i sold my freedom
for free room and board
like a monkey in a zoo
