lyrics

You want to be exciting and adventurous, but at no lifestyle cost to you
So you collect exotic surrogates like animals in the zoo
Get every flavour of humanity the mainstream media feeds to you
But never follow down the rabbit hole...

They're just animals in the zoo.
Something interesting to view
But with a wall between them and you
'Cause you don't know what they might do
They're just animals in the zoo.
Something interesting to view
But with a wall between them and you
Because you fear what they might do
They're just animals in the zoo.

Collect a friend from every culture, condition, class and sexuality
But never in your inner circle, and no-where near your family
They're so cute when they act like people
With all the funny things they say and do
And look at you, so noble, kind and caring for the animals in the zoo.

Something interesting to view
But with a wall between them and you
'Cause you don't know what they might do
They're just animals in the zoo.
Something interesting to view
But with a wall between them and you
Because you fear what they might do
They're just animals in the zoo.

Patronise and smile politely
Hold forth on things you barely understand
You're really free and open minded, so long as nobody makes demands.
Let others suffer for identity, so you'll never have to
Then seize the flag of victory from the animals in the zoo.
.
Something interesting to view
But with a wall between them and you
'Cause you don't know what they might do
They're just animals in the zoo.
Something interesting to view
But with a wall between them and you
Because you fear what they might do
They're just animals in the zoo.
