Shakin' the Cage

I am a man who sees darkness and turns on the light
I am a man who's dying to be free of his chains
I am a man and I'm shaking the cage

I'm shaking the cage
I'm shaking the cage
They try to tell me that the future
That I see is some stubborn and far off dream
But if you stand beside me you'll see what I see
And you'll shake the cage with me

I thought that living meant to follow and do as you're told
All I got good at was trying not to grow old
You cannot tell me we were meant to live this way
I am a man and I'm shaking the cage

I'm shaking the cage
I'm shaking the cage
They try to tell me that the future
That I see is some stubborn and far off dream
But if you stand beside me you'll see what I see
And you'll shake the cage with me

Have poor people dying while the rich multiplyin'
Won't you, come on, shake the cage
Killing for oil, to the victor go the spoils
Won't you, come on, shake the cage
Using the bible, a tale unrivaled
Won't you, come on, shake the cage
Politicians above tell you who you can love
Won't you, come on, shake the cage

I'm shaking the cage
I'm shaking the cage
They try to tell me that the future
That I see is some stubborn and far off dream
But if you stand beside me you'll see what I see
And you'll shake the cage with me
