It don't look like a happy home

For the monkey in the corner

Behind the bars inside the cage

The sadness makes me shiver

Freedom don't last forever



It's no way never near good taste

And puts my good sense to the test

Makes me wonder who's the beast

In the eyes of the audience

Freedom don't last forever



And the way love burns

Twists and turns

And tears us all apart

Let me tell you my old friend

It can also break your heart



Can't take no more

Lock the door

Leave me here with my self-pity

Leave me alone

With my lazy bones

And a banana on the branch of my tree



Can't take no more

Lock the door

Leave me here with my self-pity

Leave me alone

With my lazy bones

With a dream and a memory



Loneliness is a ghost

Trapped in a room of silence

Inside my head I hear the roar

The roar of a crazy lion

Freedom don't last forever

Freedom don't last forever
