Zoo

Ani Difranco - Zoo

.

I can no longer watch TV

Cause that **** really melts my brain

I think I'm what they call sensitive

And easily thrown off my game

.

All that bloodshed and pettiness

Just makes the world seem so insane

And I just feel drained

.

When I go to do my food shopping

And all I can see is the packaging

One big mountain of garbage

About to be happening

.

And I walk past my own self-loathing

Like I walk past animals in the zoo

Trying not to really see them

And the prison they didn't choose

.

If I should ever quit your spotlight

I hope you won't think me wrong

Says the poet to the moonlight

Says the singer to the song

.

It's enough just to stay upright

Upright in every single way

Pour your love into your children

Until there's nothing left to say

.

Pour your love into your children

Until there's nothing left to say
