[Verse 1]
When your life is a valise
And you're packing only dirty shirts
And you compromise your mother's eyes
To tranquilize your trigger finger itch
Well I swear I'd rather clean the cages at the zoo
Than to change my songs for you
[Verse 2]
When you struggle for the lights
And the phone becomes your bedtime mate
And you find yourself with a bloody tongue
Talking to the people that you hate
Well I swear I'd rather clean the cages at the zoo
Than to change my songs for you
Than to change my songs for you
Than to change my songs for you
[Bridge]
I am nothing but some red ink or some black
I'm demotion or a second Cadillac
[Verse 3]
When you sell out all your rights
For a chance to be immortalized
And you duck your friends from Juilliard
Oh my God how much more can you take?
Well I swear I'd rather clean the cages at the zoo
Than to change my songs for you
