Don't know just how long but I've
Been trapped in here quite a while
Wonder if I'll make it out, ahh, ahh
I miss my friends, I miss the sky
Feel like I just live to die
But that can't be what life's about, ah, ah

I think they just lock me up to taunt me (taut me)
I won't ever let nobody own me, own me
I don't let these thoughts of freedom haunt me (haunt me)
What you gon' do when they learn the truth?

Every time I
Feel like I just can't take it no more
I get angry
That's when I start runnin'
In my mind's eye
Lies the key that'll open the door
You can't break me
There's a new day comin'

That's what happens when you let a bunch of wild animals out the cage

Think our biggest problem is
It all gets so monotonous
Holding us all hostages, ah, ah
Weighin' down on top of us
Draining all our confidence
But I won't stay anonymous, ah, ah

I think they just lock me up to taunt me (taut me)
I won't ever let nobody own me, own me
I don't let these thoughts of freedom haunt me (haunt me)
What you gon' do when they learn the truth?

Every time I
Feel like I just can't take it no more
I get angry
That's when I start runnin'
In my mind's eye
Lies the key that'll open the door
You can't break me
There's a new day comin'

Let me out this cage, I've been here way too long, way too long
Planning my escape, I see the break of dawn
What you gon' do when they learn the truth?

Every time I
Feel like I just can't take it no more
I get angry
That's when I start runnin'
In my mind's eye
Lies the key that'll open the door
You can't break me (you can't break me)
There's a new day

Every time I (oh, whoa)
Feel like I just can't take it no more (oh, oh)
I get angry (I get angry)
That's when I start runnin' (ah)
In my mind's eye (in my mind's eye)
Lies the key that'll open the door
You can't break me (you can't break me)
There's a new day comin'

That's what happens when you let a bunch of wild animals out the cage
