  • You're just an animal in the zoo
    Sittin' round feeling persecuted and abused
    You're locked up and I'm on the loose
    But I can't quite tell who's looking at who
    Cause I'm an animal, too
    But you're locked up in a zoo
    And you look at me and I look at you

    God made the heaven and the deep blue sea
    But man picked the flowers and he pulled up the trees
    God mad the moon and the rain and the sun
    But man made the money and the bombs and the guns
    So we're all animals, too
    But you're locked up in a zoo
    And you look at me and I look at you

    I'm a prisoner but I got no cage
    I'm locked up but I got no chain
    But the good guys lose and the bad guys win
    That's why you're looking out and I'm looking in
    But we're all animals, too
    But you're locked up in a zoo
    Cause you look at me and I look at you Writer/s: Wendy Miller
