Wanna know how you feel
Behind those bars of steel
I hope that what I see ain't real
You, the King, swinging in that rubber wheel
(ooh yeah)

Did they hear your baby cry
Did they hear your baby cry
I see that sadness in your eyes
Your eyes never lie (ooh yeah)

They caught you by surprise
Took you out of paradise
Broke your family ties

Hey Gorilla
I wonder how it feels
Hey Gorilla
Livin' on shattered dreams
Livin' on memories

They tried so hard to control you
Still they can't tell you what to do
They give you vegetables to chew
But your heart they can't see trough

They caught you by surprise
Took you out of paradise
Broke your family ties

Hey Gorilla
I wonder how it feels
Hey Gorilla
Livin' on shattered dreams
Livin' on memories
