Текст песни Zookeeper - Victor Jones

I had a parakeet named after John Williams
And a rat named after Miles Davis
And ancestors up in the mountains
Who thought only jesus could save us

Birds named after composers
Youve got brown nosers kneeling down to your loafers
Give a mouse some praise hell ask for degradation
Or at least a debate on he state of our nation

WHEN I GROW UP I WANNA BE A ZOOKEEPER
WIDE AWAKE LIKE ANY GOOD SLEEPER
WHEN I GROW UP I WANNA BE A ZOOKEEPER
WIDE AWAKE
WIDE AWAKE
WHEN I GROW UP I WANNA BE A ZOOKEEPER
WIDE AWAKE LIKE ANY GOOD SLEEPER
WHEN I GROW UP I WANNA BE A ZOOKEEPER
WIDE AWAKE
WIDE AWAKE

I remember at the pool with my halfway friends
They were doing various dives into the deep end
I was sitting on a chair wearing my towel like a cape
Writing a piano piece dreaming of escape

WHEN I GROW UP I WANNA BE A ZOOKEEPER
WIDE AWAKE LIKE ANY GOOD SLEEPER
WHEN I GROW UP I WANNA BE A ZOOKEEPER
WIDE AWAKE
WIDE AWAKE
WHEN I GROW UP I WANNA BE A ZOOKEEPER
WIDE AWAKE LIKE ANY GOOD SLEEPER
WHEN I GROW UP I WANNA BE A ZOOKEEPER
WIDE AWAKE
WIDE AWAKE

And the tigers discuss, should we leave our cage
When its provided such security and guaranteed safety
But the leader of the streak says in a fiery rage

This place hasnt felt like home to me lately
Im not gonna die like this
Cannonball
Im not gonna die like this
Corkscrew
Im not gonna die like this
Bellyflop
Im not gonna die like this
Backflip
