The Change Cage

Your rating:
I take a steam train to work 
Just like the one my father took 
And I pass over the walls 
I see the people as I look 

I see there's the block 
For folks with purple skin 
There's the block for folks who have no chin 
There's the block for me & all my kin 
And over there's the change cage where we throw the rebels in 

I work the change cage 
Here on our side of the wall 
And I will hold the key until the day they say the cage will fall 

I work the change cage 
Here on our side of the wall 
And I will hold the key until the day they say the cage will fall 

Walls of iron bolted with steel 
Two miles high that should hide how we feel 
And in the city we've walled off each block 
This should work to segregate any racial melting pot 

Long ago we learned of the trouble 
When a man steps out of his life's plastic bubble 
So we walled off the city, caged thoughts that were free 
And now our lives are safe from any change that 
Could have come between you & me 

I work the change cage 
Here on our side of the wall 
And I will hold the key until the day they say the cage will fall 

I work the change cage 
Here on our side of the wall 
And I will hold the key until the day they say the cage will fall 

They say an artist from block 616 
Revived some old art just for his own kicks 
They say his pictures were lewd 
They say his women were nude 
So we throw them inside 

Well now that artist can run, he can hide 
But sooner or later we'll throw him inside 
I don't think the people should see 
Well that's not art to me 
So we'll throw them inside 

I work the change cage 
Here on our side of the wall 
And I will hold the key until the day they say the cage will fall 

And I will hold the key<br />
