I'm chained to the wall.
C G D C
I have nothin' at all.
C G D C
And my eyes look into the sunset thinkin' of better things to do,
C G D C
Like a monkey in a zoo.

The days go so slow.

Like a monkey in a zoo.

But I never saw it comin'.

I'm so alone,
C G D C
But this is my home.

And the bars that surround me keep me from knowin' any better,

Like a monkey in a zoo.

Laugh and make jokes.

Like a monkey in a zoo.

And when I cry out nobody seems to understand,

Like a monkey in a zoo.

Like a monkey in a zoo.

And it could happen to you.

You could be in my place.

But I sold my freedom for free room and board,
C G D C G
Like a monkey in a zoo.
