The Cage
Words and Music By Tom Shellenberger and Paul Marcus
Copyright 1986 Paradise Park Music (ASCAP)

Watch what we do, hear what we say
This seems so real, so real -- it's the American way
Maybe we see or maybe we think we know
So take a good seat, take a good seat
Sit tight for the show
Having a good time out on the stage
Not even caring it's minimum wage
Go ahead — dig it, we're not in a cage
Or at least we don't mind

Take what you can, leave what you will
You can count on me, on me -- that would be better still
We could be coming back or maybe just coming on
The twilight's in my eyes, the twilight's in my eyes
Or is that the dawn
I'll live till the castles all shiver and shake
Shout through the silence we never could break
We'll have to remember to sing at the wake
But at least we won't mind

Watch what we do, hear what we say
This seems so real, so real -- it's the American way
Maybe we see or maybe we just think we know
So take a good seat, take a good seat
I've saved you a seat beside me
So sit tight for the show
Having a good time out on the stage
If we cared at all we would be enraged
Look to the stars -- you can see the cage
And don't pretend we don't mind!
