The Zoo (The Human Zoo) - Commodores

Zoo

The human zoo

We’re free

As a caged chimpanzee

Right

Or really wrong

Disguised in life

As human right

And they calls us a civilization

We’re treated like animals outside our cages

If people see that you’re tryin'

They tear you up like hungry lion

Inside the zoo

The human zoo

What can I do

It’s gonna prove

Just give your friend a break

He’ll bite the hand that feeds him like a rattlesnake

And don’t shut your eyes and try to sleep

Otherwise another dog will steal your meat

Inside the zoo

The human zoo

What can I do

It’s gonna prove

Zoo

The human zoo

We’re free

As a caged chimpanzee

I don’t like to get down on their level

I bet it’s your turn, I know it’s terrible

It’s true

The human zoo, now

Not like they do, no

I will prove

For me and you, girl

That inside of you

I love you too

I want you to

In this human zoo, lord I’m comin'

Uh huh, in this human zoo

I’m gonna do this for me and you

Oh, I want you too
