The Lyrics
This is Wild Child JIN's idea, not mine... but I am dedicating this first version to him. He will be doing the other version which will be his. Since we share many things in common, I thought this parody would benefit both of us. This is also dedicated to all the Feral Children in the world along with my poem which will be published in an anthology by Poetry Nation: [Feral Child] Somewhere in the ruins lay A shattered mind still at play Although away, and never found Her eyes betray awe at every sound And having heard, yet no speech Comprehension just out of reach She smiles and touches every heart Tears the civilized world apart A feral child, wild and free, I wish I could conceive what she perceives ... beyond just her basic needs ~ Rob Arndt 5/15/11
They put me in a zoo
’cause I’m wild
With all the things I went through
I ain’t cryin’
I roar like a lion
And the world can’t stand it
Me runnin’ around
Gnashing my teeth
Losing my sanity, makes me growl
They put me in a zoo
’cause I’m wild
Wild Child
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you right now
And I don’t care
If you try to evade me
Your inhumanity makes me howl
You fear me
They put me in a zoo
’cause I’m wild
’cause I’m wild
With all the things I went through
I ain’t cryin’
I roar like a lion
And the world can’t stand it
Me runnin’ around
Gnashing my teeth
Losing my sanity, makes me growl
They put me in a zoo
’cause I’m wild
Wild Child
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you
I hate you right now
And I don’t care
If you try to evade me
Your inhumanity makes me howl
You fear me
They put me in a zoo
’cause I’m wild

Look like you beat me to it Rob, :-( But nicely done! Turning loose three wild 5's for you! :-)
Strange subject matter, but I like it. Weren't there real wild children that were caged in the past???
Hammerhead: Maybe not in the end, but in the beginning, that's what made most of them feral/wild to begin with, others were just abandoned in the forests/jungles, or isolated from civilization in their own homes. As for me, I was depersonalized. (long angry story)
