What was the crime
for this poorly lion
why this zoo prison
probably caged for life

Look at them all
look at the apes
they look broken and forlorn
even some in captivity were born

Oh god the birds
are not birds supposed to fly
but no way in those cages
our feathered friends caged for life

Yet what breaks my heart the most
it's seeing the majestic dolphins
the price fish for their liberty
living in a giant goldfish bowl

Give them all back their freedom
protect there natural habitats
for no crimes did these creatures commit
yet here they are.... caged for life
