This Song was recorded in 1967. I believe that the lyrics humorously described the "disfunction & disunity " in American Society at that time.

The lyric, "The zoo keeper is very fond of run." Implies "disfunction" in upper management. Is it possible that Paul Simon foresaw the Trump years, as U. S. President?

The monkeys stand for honesty ( hear no evil, see no evil etc. )

.......
Zebras are reactionaries ( black and white)
Pigeons plot in secrecy - you must know this
Hamsters turn on frequently - the little treadmill
