This cage is full of birds And this house is full of worms The turtle and the swallow This is roaring like the sea Everyone's dealt falsely From the prophet to the priest And the kids are changing channels From the famine to the feast And it shakes you down This place it breaks you down And it shakes you down Well there's dung upon the ground And there's buildings made with hands Wild figs that can't be eaten And religous men in gowns Horses rushing into battle Can the leopard change his spots? And it shakes you down This place it breaks you down It's just your point of view Shrug it off like you always do Today bound in chains Just like the anchor of your soul He's got no will, he's got to fight This cage is full of birds And this house is full of worms And kids are changing channels From the famine to the feast And it shakes you down This place it breaks you down It's just your point of view Shrug it off like you always do Today bound in chains Just like the anchor of your soul
