Beyond This Cage

 Although my eyes have vision—I still can’t seeI can go as I please—But I don’t feel freeWhat’s it like—Beyond this cage Look at the monkey—he’s trapped in the zooLook at him laughing cause he knows you’re trapped tooYou stare at the TV—it washes your brainSubliminal message—you’ve got to be trained—to remainIn your cage Pay all your taxes—pretend life is freeCredit card system—dependencyYou have to take drug tests—you **** in a cupShow them your insides—do as they instruct—no don’t corruptThe bars of your cage Let me go—I need to knowWhat’s it like--beyond this cageLet me see—I need to be freeWhat’s it like--beyond this cage Institutions with no reliefLive as a number—no feelings—no griefWork like a dog and live like a slaveCannot buy insurance to earn your own grave—so behaveIn your cage Serve jury duty or pay the fineNothing is your own—not even your timeSee the policemen—see them harass
