Caged Bird
Television talk shows
Drop the needle, here we go
I give it six months
Did you hear about so and so?
A fake, a buzz, a tiny shift
You know they put their weight in it
Those on the downsize
Know just where the bodies are hid
I know why the caged bird sings
I know why the caged bird sings
A real fighter fights whether or not the bell rings
I know why the caged bird sings
Soda sells lifestyle
A mile down, a mile high
With your face pressed against the glass
You're no less on the outside
I know why the caged bird sings
I know why the caged bird sings
A real puppet's got its teeth gnashing at the strings
I know why the caged bird sings
Tony Robbins boot camp
Dickey's got a new plan
It's deep pockets with quicker hands
Privilege breeds circumstance
I know why the caged bird sings
I know why the caged bird sings
A real fighter fights whether or not the bell rings
I know why the caged bird sings
I know why the caged bird sings
I know why the caged bird sings
A real puppet's got its teeth gnashing at the strings
I know why the caged bird sings
I know why the caged bird sings
I know why the caged bird sings
I know why the caged bird sings
I know why the caged bird
