Rattle The Cage

Would that I could turn of phrase
Just to turn you round
But all systems go there grinding harder more
All systems go ahead
don't be a policeman don't be a fool
Go ask weather-
man, it ain't made
It comes, it just comes
Chorus:
Together hold together
Rattle the cage
Rattle the cage
Rattle the cage
Together all together
Rattle the cage
Rattle the cage
Shake the wall 'til they all fall down
I'm so tired of being scared
Always living in fear
If it ain't a cop, it's a criminal
If it ain't the earth about to heave and throw
Got to heave and throw, yeahIt's the crumbling of our pillars
and all our pedestals
It's a monument to heroes
Broken in the mud
It's a stolen future
(Chorus)
Is this the way we rise and fall
Holding back the sea?
No empty slogans or promises
a simple song of peace
Don't ever say that we don't belong
Don't say we're weak because we're feeling strong
Feeling stronger
Feeling stronger, every day

When I woke up this morning
I just laid there in bed
'Cause I was overcome with thoughts of you
racing in my head
And when I tried to remember
the way that you smile
My heart skipped a beat
so I just stayed there a while
Chorus:
I heard every word you said
and love is not a promise you make
But the life I see up ahead
Is full of chances I want to take
I guess you'd have to know me
to know what I like
How uunusual it was for me to walk
with you that night
Or how I woke up early
and talk right away
At seven in the morning
I don't often have much to say
(Chorus)
You're beautiful
I've seen light dancing around you
And the clouds move aside
so you can look at the moon
In movies and in books
the hero always finds love
and the plot wraps up neatly
and fits like a glove
but my life has never
worked out that way
Too many twists and turns
And pages ripped away

Cut Through The Sugar
03:01
|

Take a knife and cut through the sugar
and cut through the naps
and cut through the television
Take a knife and cut through the coffee
and cut through the cigarettes
and cut through the alcohol
What would happen if one woman told the truth
about her life
The world would split open and show its anger
and call her a lunatic with a knife
Take a knife and cut through the billboards
and cut through the magazines
and cut through the media woman
Take a knife and cut through the fear
and cut through the past
and cut through the nice girl act
What would happen if one woman told the truth
about her life
The world would split open and show its anger
and call her a murderer with a knife
But I don't care I don't care
truth at any price
you can drag me away, lock me up
but I don't have to close my eyes
I'd rather spend one moment
at peace with my own heart
than a thousand years at some cocktail party
laughing politely
wondering when my next drink's coming from
Take a knife and cut through the bullshit
and cut through the thick pool of doubt
that keeps everyone out
especially myself
Take a knife and cut through the sugar
and cut through the fear
and cut through the alcohol
What would happen if one woman told the truth
about her life
