We’re all trapped in different cages
People of all different ages
Careful now, defeat’s contagious
We’re all trapped in different cages
Men and women make different wages
Gays and straights on different pages
I really don’t need another reason to hide
We all live in desperation
Watch TV in aggravation
Can’t afford any medication
We all live in desperation
Went to war on false information
Please excuse my hesitation
I really don’t need another reason to die
All our lives at different stages
We’re all trapped in different cages
Careful now, defeat’s contagious
All our lives at different stages
Patriots, dissen’s courageous
Careful now the truth is dangerous
I really don’t need another reason to lie
We’re all tired of endless aching
Said I’d fight; I wasn’t faking
Revolution in the making
We’re all tired of endless aching
We’re the ones your god’s forsaking
My brothers died; I’m still shaking
I really don’t need another reason to cry
We pray for our generation
Huddled round the congregation
Misinterpret Revelation
We pray for our generation
Please excuse my hesistation
Don’t share this end expectation
I really don’t need another reason to die
A mother waiting empty-handed
For the truth that she demanded
Her son and life, now disbanded
A mother waiting empty-handed
And no one came when she commanded
Can’t forget the day it ended
I really dont’ need another reason to cry
Can’t find comfort here; it’s cold inside
What’s past is past but I can’t leave a man behind
If only we could turn back time
I hope we could just swallow our pride
Stood in the streets and we waved goodbye
Pray to our gods saying “give us a sign”
I really don’t need another reason to hide
Lay down your head man, it’s time to die.
