Lyrics for The Lone Rhinoceros

I'm a lone rhinoceros There ain't one hell of a lots of us Left in this world I stand alone in my concrete cell Where people stare and toss me coke cans I guess it's better than being poached But I'd give my horn just to see my homeland I'm a lone rhinoceros There ain't one hell of a lots of us Left in this world They say I am ugly, Call me a beast I hear them snicker When I'm half asleep Is beauty such a big commodity I always heard it was only so deep I'm a lone rhinoceros There ain't one hell of a lots of us Left in this world I know the zoos protect my species They give me food, collect my feces But I can't help it, I miss the past I'll never again see my good old mudbath
