How Would You Feel?

How would you feel if you were taken from your home And placed in a little cage all on your own With barely enough room to move, let alone roam? No pity or compassion shown Towards these poor animals They’re just thrown together Traveling from country to country No matter what the weather Trained to perform unnatural tricks Just so people can get their kicks When they come to see the circus It’s berserk just how much they make the poor animals work It hurts to see the hunger in their eyes And to hear their mournful cries If there’s one thing I despise It’s cruelty to animals They have no water to drink And their food bowls lie empty So next time you even think about joining your family on a circus trip You ought to spare a thought For the animal slaves who only crave A bit of freedom and love Not to be stuffed into tiny cages In this day and age It is an outrage It would make you shrink with fright We have to put up a fight For circus animals are living beings too And they should be able to live their lives the way wild animals should do
