paper cages
[intro] Step out, step out of our cages Step out of our paper cages Step out, step out of our cages Out of our cages, out of our cages Step out [verse 1] I like the look of your place Yes, I love your construction Did you carve a wee key From the soap in your kitchen To turn in a lock Of your own penal fiction You're so vivid and free in your imagination Well we'll never be free If our incarceration Is a story we tell A tale of invention Is it personal choice Personal conviction Or are you living like me in paper cages? [chorus] Step out, step out of our cages Step out of our paper cages Step out, step out of our cages We're living our lives in paper cages Step out [verse 2] When you took on your bid Did you make up your number? Did you walk like a punk To the screws at your counter? Did you say you can't win When you are the system That contains in paper cages? [chorus] Step out, step out of our cages Step out of our paper cages Step out, step out of our cages We're living our lives in paper cages Step out [bridge] Living our lives in paper cages Living our lives in paper cages Living our lives in paper cages Step out [chorus] Step out, step out of our cages Step out of our paper cages Step out, step out of our cages We're living our lives in paper cages Step out
