Cage

You drink a pint just to start your day
And excellent way to build your cage
Afternoon rolls around too soon
So you drink some more just to get you through

When you're building your cage

Work is over as you finish your lock
As you close the bar at 2:00

It's a crying shame, and who's to blame
Your brothers and sisters
Or dad and mom for bringing you up wrong
I can't believe you can't see the signs
What is going on inside your mind
You're looking down and not ahead
The way you're going you'll soon be dead

Can't you see just how far you've gone
And how many people you've dragged along

When you're building your cage
Building your cage

Only so much more to say
Before you go and throw it all away

When you're building your cage
Building your cage

I hope you heard what I said
I don't want to see you winding up dead

It's a crying shame, and who's to blame
Your brothers and sisters
Or dad and mom for bringing you up wrong
I can't believe you can't see the signs
What is going on inside your mind
You've thrown it all away
