Rusty Cage

You wired me awakeAnd hit me with a hand of broken nailsYou tied my lead and pulled my chainTo watch my blood begin to boilBut I'm gonna breakI'm gonna break myI'm gonna break my rusty cage and runToo cold to start a fireI'm burning diesel, burning dinosaur bonesI'll take the river down to still waterAnd ride a pack of dogsI'm gonna breakI'm gonna break myI'm gonna break my rusty cage and runWhen the forest burnsAlong the road Like God's eyes In my headlightsWhen the dogs are lookingFor their bonesAnd it's raining icepicksOn your steel shoreI'm gonna breakI'm gonna break myI'm gonna break my rusty cage and run
