All the bright young things are talking
Showing off their wings and squawking
PLaying games and singing dirges
All in circles at the zoo
Pupil with the frigid eyes
Is pouring out the liquor prizes
Shrieking from inside my head
And all in cages at the zoo
You cruel zoo, you
Cruel zoo, you
Each desire is chosen
And provided courtesy the zoo
See each face — each blind indulgence
All in circles at the zoo
They will lock you up with dogma
You’ll forget that it was there
Everyone will be the same one
All in cages at the zoo
You cruel zoo, you
Cruel zoo, you
So beware of supervision
Know your keeper
And destroy him
Changing mind until you find
There’s no more cages at the zoo
You cruel zoo, you
Cruel zoo, you
You cruel zoo, you
Cruel zoo, you
You cruel zoo, you
Cruel, cruel zoo
