Zoo - Ani DiFranco

I can no longer watch TV

Cause that shit 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
