I sit back and watch you go by me

claw for your important place in society

money prestige fame and fuckin' glory

everywhere you look it's the same old story

anythinf goes if you've got a lot of money

everyone's a comic but nothing very funny

most of all we talk about misery

ignore the past and forget about history

Shut up, sow down get out of my face

I watch all your little dreams vanis wothout a trace

and criticize shit you don't try to understand

I'm trying not to giggle at your silly demands

I go to the zoo and stare at the animals

walk downtown and check out the cannibals

all dressed up and decorated

I wonder if the animals really love their cages?

There you sit isolated

hiding away from the things that you hated

hypnotized; mind so seated

media made my mind so afraid and

that's OK it's better that way

I wonder if the game's on TV today?

we're all fenced in; incarcerated

I wonder if the animals really love theri cages?
