The Lyrics

Keeping the feral theme, this is again the story of 19th century traveling carnivals with their sideshows of Wild Animal Children. In this case, the feral child has broken free as was the case with a mute child named Jongo who was sold by his backwards mountain folk to a carnival, but escaped back to the mountains after killing his captors...
They put me in a zoo
lost my mind

I never knew people could be so cruel
I ain’t lyin’
There’s no justifyin’

Everyday I couldn’t stand it
People poking’ (and proddin‘) around
I was treated so harshly
Them starin‘-n-spittin’- laughin’ out loud

They put me in a zoo
lost my mind
Inhuman crime

My rage grew
My rage grew
My rage grew
Didn’t you hear me growl?
Broke outta my cage
Now you can’t hurt me
I’ve killed you somehow

I broke free
They put me in a zoo
lost my mind
(they hunted me)

HH, we just toss around some ideas and the zoo theme has produced some interesting stories IMHO... I'm going to do a parody involving a Shepherdess soon, so do you object to that too!!!

Hence the name "Wild (Feral) Child (9 yr. old mind) and JIN (Savage) ;-) It's simple as ABC & 123!

I love this zoo topic! Nice idea, and it was from the very beginning! 5's! ;)

HH: What I am getting at is Wild Child JIN is not a pseudonym, it is "what", "how", and the "way" I really am!! and there is nothing better one can be than that!! ;-)
