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
