A                     D       A  D A
You're just an animal in the zoo
A                           D          A   D A
Sittin' round feeling persecuted and abused
A                    D           A   D A
You're locked up and I'm on the loose
A                             D          A
But I can't quite tell who's looking at who
       A
'Cause I'm an animal, too
     A7                    B
But you're locked up in a zoo
     E                 E7         A
And you look at me and I look at you

God made the heaven and the deep blue sea
But man picked the flowers
and he pulled up the trees
God mad the moon and the rain and the sun
But man made the money and the bombs and the guns
So we're all animals, too
But you're locked up in a zoo
And you look at me and I look at you

I'm a prisoner but I got no cage
I'm locked up but I got no chain
But the good guys lose and the bad guys win
That's why you're looking out and I'm looking in
But we're all animals, too
But you're locked up in a zoo
'Cause you look at me and I look at you
