Psychiatric Metaphors – Rats in a Cage Lyrics

A magnificent marvel of modern science
He felt the feeling creep inside him
Forever distant, dark, and staring
Always weeping, never caring
Made my way down the hall
A sign before me standing tall
Plastered there up on the wall
Don’t be late answer all our calls
The sign was read in passing glance
A common goal of modern man
Go find and burn the promised land
Now try and sleep
Blood on your hands
Watch free will through jealous eyes
Wish you weren’t so deep inside
The race of rats, the human kind
We’re always watching, give your time
Theres nothing left, you cant be free
They took your time, how can’t you see
Another memory, another dream
Another fee tears you at the seams
You can’t believe how far you’ve come
A fiery pit of all you’ve known
Relationships all turn to stone
Your mind is theirs now let it go
Enjoy your stay, make sure to pay
You’ve made a scene, ruined our day
Its not our fault you only want everything
Not a dime to drop
What’s that now
Retire soon
A death vacation’s in your view
Can’t you see all your friends
Work till death it never ends
Working hard like a rat
Vermin caged, human trapped
Behind the metal cage you cry
Another reason, a better time
Someone promised you some food
Must go fast too much to lose
Work until your bones create
A concrete slab where you can lay
Tiny rat, tiny cage
Mindless human, mirrored traits
Toxic planet, no debate
Work real hard, you’ll stay in shape
Over priced, you must consume
Give up your life for something new
Sweet escape, digital dismay
Live the life your phone creates
And in the end
We’re all just rats in a cage
