Caged Up In Cages


Lions, tigers, elephants and monkeys
Giraffes, polar bears, mongoose and donkeys
Living in prisons, with their pent-up rages
'Cause they're not living free, but caged up in cages

Circus performing elephants
Far from their natural elements
Where they could live with dignity
Free from "humane" tyranny

The lion, king of them all
The giraffe, so gracefully tall
Lose their grace and regality
When behind bars is their reality

The cute little furry guys known as pandas
Suffer as captives and cruel things that man-does
Our hypocritical pretense, "the human thing to do"
How to treat animals, most humans have no clue

Humanity? Who are we kidding?
When we force animals to do our own bidding
We've trouble enough living on earth
Let's not imprison animals just for our mirth

Anamals cagde up to delite the human anamal ,
The wildest anamal of all ,
Say how arfale the apes are when they spit upon there ,
Tormenters ,
Raw in glee at the lions , ,
Coment on the wolfs cagde up in a pen of a few feet of a pen ,
Write pages and pages on the panders ,
Gorp on them waiting for them to have sex and repraduse ,
Is it no wonder the pander dos nowt to titillate the crounds ,
Of humans ,
How many of them would perform before the camarers ,
Some would I have to say ,
But there humans affter all
