Why did you suddenly disappear Where in the world did you go There you are, locked inside your home Peering out from a half-open window How does the shoe fit on the other foot Now you no longer have the stage How do you feel when we roam free And you are the one in the cage Together we came to inhabit this planet It was meant for us to share You alone had the gift of sapience Yet you decided you didn’t care For millennia you have taken what’s ours You’ve used us to satisfy your need You drove us to near extinction Oh you creature of insatiable greed While you cower in your home, afraid We’re free, we’ll roam at large For too long now we’ve endured your rule Let’s show you who’s really in charge We warned you not to take us for granted We too can play tit-for-tat You’ll never know which of us did you in The pangolin, the swine or the bat
