The Hawk Buried In Shade

Beneath the cold steel of ambition's glare
A hawk once danced, freed into the air
Yet, ousted by greed, a family frayed
In this cage you're not alone, not alone, you're not alone
Wings clipped as you chase the finish line
A pay-rise just enough to pen you inside
Wings clipped as you chase that finish line
Each pay-rise just enough to keep you in line
Wings clipped as you chase the finish line
A pay-rise just enough to pen you inside
Wings clipped as you chase that finish line
Each pay-rise just enough to keep you in line
Within the bars of despair, a silent plea
Stock market zealotry, a soul in apathy
Detained, this cage, forged from decay
The hawk buried in shade, dreams betrayed
BLEGH
Wings clipped as you chase the finish line
A pay-rise just enough to pen you inside
Wings clipped as you chase that finish line
Each pay-rise just enough to keep you in line
Wings clipped as you chase the finish line
A pay-rise just enough to pen you inside
Wings clipped as you chase that finish line
Each pay-rise just enough to keep you in line
Within the bars of despair, a silent plea
Stock market zealotry, a soul in apathy
Detained, this cage, forged from decay
The hawk buried in shade, dreams betrayed
BLEGH
Through concrete canyons, where vultures thrive
They'll connive with you, and eat you alive
Devoted to the race, a family estranged
The hawk in its cage taken away, its freedom exchanged
It's freedom exchanged
Buried in shade
Left to decay
Freedom exchanged
Buried in shade
BLEGH
Do you know the price that you'll have to pay
If you waste away as a corporate slave
Watch, as they deceive you
"In the rat race we comply!"
Never forget the price of your blind eye
An eye to watch the world pass by
Never forget, your life is ending
Yet in this moment, it's only just begun!
Wings clipped as you chase the finish line
A pay-rise just enough to pen you inside
Wings clipped as you chase that finish line
Each pay-rise just enough to keep you in line
Wings clipped as you chase the finish line
A pay-rise just enough to pen you inside
Wings clipped as you chase that finish line
Each pay-rise just enough to keep you in line
Keep you in line
Keep you in line
