lyrics

I am trying to hold on to
the parts of my brain that look like a zoo
the primate sex drive overcome by
the mean old humans holding me down

I'm a three-toed sloth that
just wants a little bit of
peace and quiet,
is that so much to ask?

There's a lion somewhere but he's just a
famished little cub that's mocked and booed
A killer whale successfully tamed and blamed
for the little ones not having fun

Perhaps the most interesting animal here
is the human putting cages around everyone

Don't blame me for the state I'm in
it's a reaction to the world created by
humans just looking for someone to fuck
sorry you can't find one person to love you

I am losing control of my brain
when I smoke too much and obsessively complain
about every animal wrong with me
that was naturally there when I came into being

It's okay to feel bat sometimes
and sometimes I'll be happy as a clam

But are they really that happy? flapping everyday
in the six-inch water, nobody came
to check out the clams, apparently they're
the happiest ones, but how would I know?

I'm the cages, somewhere, yellow pages,
looking for a buddy to help me with this one

Don't blame me for the state I'm in
it's a reaction to the world created by
humans just looking for someone to love
sorry you can't find one one
