we
Little bird in a guilded cage if we open the door would you fly away
we feed you crusts of bread keep you underfed
if we open the door would you fly away we open the door you spread your wings
disregard the passion disregard the pain like cattle at the slaughter
like pigs in a poke i think about our lives what a fuckin joke
like dust on a table like sand in a pile we worry and we worry is it all worth while
we nail your soul to the wall we fuck you then we make you crawl
if we open the door would you fly away we feed you crusts of bread
keep you underfed if we open the door would you fly away
like a checker on a chessboard like a boat on the sand
like a river that flows through dry land like a groom at the alter
like a priest on pirade like a bride on her back on her wedding day
they nail our souls to the wall they fuck us then they make us crawl
if they open the door could we fly away they feed us crusts of bread
keep us underfed if they open the door could we fly away
like cattle at the slaughter like pigs in a poke i think about our lives what a fuckin joke like dust on a table like sand in a pille we worry and we worry is it all worh while
