Have you ever wised up
And understood the game
How they made us play
Made us feel shame
From an early age
Deny what we became
Conditioned responses, all the same

Engineering liars
We are trapped in cages built for man
Architects of desire
We are trapped in cages built for man

Have you ever sized up
The likelihood of blame
How they made us stay
Made us feel tame
From an older age
Accept and proclaim
Conditioned responses still defame

We perform
In cages built for man
Anxiety instructed the guilty hand
We conform
To cages built for man
Society constructed your losing hand
