Cages

Johnny L.

the one thing that I’ve grown to hate

is getting used to running late

i’ll make a useless vow

to get some sleep somehow

and if you ask me why i’m so

hard to pin down, i don’t know

cut me, and i’ll bleed

but i’ll eventually succeed

the keepers are all on strike for higher wages

not enough cages in this zoo

not enough hours in my day

not enough cages in this zoo

no wonder i don’t sleep most nights

once again the cage is bare

a tattered whip, an empty chair

and the echoes in my head

overpower what was said

the keepers have all on strike for higher wages

not enough cages in this zoo

not enough hours in my day

not enough cages in this zoo

no wonder i don’t sleep most nights
