Lyrics
'CAGE THE MONSTERS'
You wanna hurt that little dog so DEFENCELESS!!
What has she done to you? NOTHING!!
Stop there in your tracks - ABUSERS!!
Cos we're aiming to get you FIVE YEARS!!
Think you're above the law - DON'T YOU!!
But you're not, you're just ROTTEN TO THE CORE!!
This means WAR ON ABUSE - THE LAW MUST STOP YOU!!
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH – NO MORE!!
NO ABUSE!! CAGE THE MONSTERS!!
NO ABUSE!! CAGE THE MONSTERS AMONGST US!!
NO ABUSE, DON'T LET THEM LOOSE!! CAGE THE MONSTERS!!
JUSTICE - NO JUSTICE, JUST US!!
You think you'll get away with MURDER!!
But change will come and those like you will PAY!!
Time will heal our pain, so REMEMBER!!
Every last dog HAS IT'S DAY!!
Think you're above the law - DON'T YOU!!
But you're not, you're just ROTTEN TO THE CORE!!
This means WAR ON ABUSE - THE LAW MUST STOP YOU!!
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH – NO MORE!!
NO ABUSE!! CAGE THE MONSTERS!!
NO ABUSE!! CAGE THE MONSTERS AMONGST US!!
NO ABUSE, DON'T LET THEM LOOSE!! CAGE THE MONSTERS!!
JUSTICE - NO JUSTICE, JUST US!!

Yep, Joan Jett hit me right off the bat. Man, I don't want Maria to get mad at me! Seriously, I'm a cat and dog guy so I'm with you on the sentiment. Great track and Maria belts it out powerfully. And what can I say, Paul's guitar work is stellar!
