throw feces at us

But every night when the
zoo gates are closed,
C

home, sweet home,

They don't fall asleep,
they don't even doze,
G
C
home, sweet home.
They gather and grumble
F
and gossip for ages about the

strange creatures

Outside of their cages,

about you and me,

Who think we are free

No other creature needs

Home, sweet home.
Animals succeed by natural selection,

We choose our leaders

They'd strip us dark naked

if they had the chance

Miss Condoleezza absconds
with our tweezers

body and mind in a rush

The rest of the world is
outside of the bars

Observing the zoo of the
stripes and the stars,

a dump for our waste,
D
G
and all of their space for our home,
C
