So now we're gonna find out what kind of animals we are
Do we bare our fangs?
Do we flaunt our chains?
Can we still dream the jungle
if we sleep inside a cage?
And can we even find it that way?
We got our zoo teeth
Slack jaws and broken instincts
Wages of captivity
They say we got tame brains,
but might that change with hunger pains?
Looks like we'll get the chance to see
Because the top hats are running to their fallout shelters
with their Pinkertons and their gold
The wild cats all caught a memory lapse on sex drugs and rock n roll
Will we eat our young?
Will we shed our skin?
Will we bite the hands that feeds us
diet pills and thorazine?
Or will we end up starving?
We got our zoo teeth
Slack jaws and killer instincts
somewhere deep in our memories
They say we got tame brains
but might that change with hunger pains?
Might be time for a little ferocity
House cats hunt down matadors spill their blood all through the streets
Little lambs turn into carnivores by filing down their teeth
Why we wanna keep on living in zoos when we don't get enough to eat?
Why we wanna keep on living in zoos when we never get enough to eat?
