Keeping People as Pets
We start with our best foot forward
Impressions they can't ignore
To play the part takes skill and art
A trap set in human flaws
At times we let down our guard
So hard to keep up charade
What first was sold in perfect gold
Is slowly becoming scarred
We're keeping people as pets
In veiled etiquette
Controlling and keeping down
And if you try to escape
From this society grave
Can you be certain you won't turn around?
So daily we wear them down
Maintaining this hollow crown
This hurt we say, abuse we trade
Caged animals run aground
We're keeping people as pets
In veiled etiquette
Controlling and keeping down
And if you try to escape
With nothing but dignity
Can you be certain you won't turn around?
Impressions they can't ignore
To play the part takes skill and art
A trap set in human flaws
At times we let down our guard
So hard to keep up charade
What first was sold in perfect gold
Is slowly becoming scarred
We're keeping people as pets
In veiled etiquette
Controlling and keeping down
And if you try to escape
From this society grave
Can you be certain you won't turn around?
So daily we wear them down
Maintaining this hollow crown
This hurt we say, abuse we trade
Caged animals run aground
We're keeping people as pets
In veiled etiquette
Controlling and keeping down
And if you try to escape
With nothing but dignity
Can you be certain you won't turn around?
