Everything's bad for something
Even truth
Memories just like our country
Obstructed view
Pick your poison and pass it around
Last one standing takes the higher ground
Where they see you
Where they see you
And his f*ckin'...
He didn't really care for people
Well maybe youth
Looked only up to his steeple
Thought removed
Pick your poison drink it with your son
The man up there speaks for the chosen one
Down to you
Down to you
In your f*ckin' cage
You really gotta have this potion
Extend your life
This stone comes from the ocean
Love your wife
Pick your poison and deform your young
They can fix it with this brand new drug
Sold to you
Sold to you
In your f*ckin' cage...
From my cage I can see
The form of lady liberty
Floating by in a cloud overhead
It begins to rain our freedoms
Melthing away into soil
Wrought with lead
From this once fertile ground grow fences
Locks hung
To get through we speak in key codes and
Black math tongue
Free speech has been reduced to a
20% off coupon
Red and white washed out
By a special blue light
Always on
The original sin was original thought
And getting caught
No wonder they want us to wash it away
But we oblige
Spending days and nights inside bars
Doing time
Spending money killing hours
Suicide
Killing ourselves
To set our minds free
Blurring what we think
To slur what we see
And from time to time
We look up
As the sun burns through the haze
When it does
What do you see
From your f*ckin' cage
Their faces all beat and broken
Frozen in fright
The camera brings it to my futon
Shadow and light
Pick your poison tell me what it shows
Join your family baskin' in the glow
And forget you
And forget you
And your f*ckin' cage...
