The Cage They Love

Intro

Uh-huh

Yeah

Cold world

Check it

Verse 1

Piles of paper stack tall like monuments

Clean suits hide the darkest sediments

They smile

They lie

They leave us dry

Promised land is just a parking lot

Green paper in a rusted pot

Watching the kingdom crumble and rot

Pre-Chorus

Bought a watch

Bought a car

Bought a name

Empty at the start

Empty at the middle

Empty at the finish

Chorus

They sell you the moon for a dollar

They sell you the chain for a collar

Money is the lie

Pride is the ghost

Power is the cage they love the most

Power is the cage they love the most

Post-Chorus

Feed the greed

Feed the greed

Just a seed

Of what they need

Verse 2

Suit and tie killers chasing titles

Bowing down to plastic golden idols

King on a cardboard throne

Dog without a bone

Loud mouth screaming in the silence

Heavy hand building up the violence

Nothing is real

Nothing is earned

Nothing is left after it is burned

Pre-Chorus

Bought a watch

Bought a car

Bought a name

Empty at the start

Empty at the middle

Empty at the finish

Chorus

They sell you the moon for a dollar

They sell you the chain for a collar

Money is the lie

Pride is the ghost

Power is the cage they love the most

Power is the cage they love the most

Post-Chorus

Feed the greed

Feed the greed

Just a seed

Of what they need

Chorus

They sell you the moon for a dollar

They sell you the chain for a collar

Money is the lie

Pride is the ghost

Power is the cage they love the most

Power is the cage they love the most
