They only want
Me to entertain
Them.
Like the tiger prowling
In the zoo
That makes you
Feel a little guilty
For smiling at his
Misery.
And the cameras
Flash away
And the kids scream
And cry.
I am the the tiger
Complete with
Broken spirit
And hollow eyes.
But the crowds
Will always come…
And someone must
Entertain them.
It is the way of the world.

They only want
Me to entertain

Like the tiger prowling
In the zoo
That makes you
Feel a little guilty
For smiling at his

And the cameras

And the kids scream
And cry.
I am the the tiger
Complete with
Broken spirit
And hollow eyes.
But the crowds
Will always come…
And someone must
Entertain them.
It is the way of the world.
