[intro]Step out, step out of our cagesStep out of our paper cagesStep out, step out of our cagesOut of our cages, out of our cagesStep out[verse 1]I like the look of your placeYes, I love your constructionDid you carve a wee keyFrom the soap in your kitchenTo turn in a lockOf your own penal fictionYou're so vivid and free in your imaginationWell we'll never be freeIf our incarcerationIs a story we tellA tale of inventionIs it personal choicePersonal convictionOr are you living like me in paper cages?[chorus]Step out, step out of our cagesStep out of our paper cagesStep out, step out of our cagesWe're living our lives in paper cagesStep out[verse 2]When you took on your bidDid you make up your number?Did you walk like a punkTo the screws at your counter?Did you say you can't winWhen you are the systemThat contains in paper cages?[chorus]Step out, step out of our cagesStep out of our paper cagesStep out, step out of our cagesWe're living our lives in paper cagesStep out[bridge]Living our lives in paper cagesLiving our lives in paper cagesLiving our lives in paper cagesStep out[chorus]Step out, step out of our cagesStep out of our paper cagesStep out, step out of our cagesWe're living our lives in paper cagesStep out
