Gregory Page Bird In A Cage Lyrics

Everyone will let you down
Everything you try won’t work out
You think you’re flying high
But brother, you ain’t left the ground
You say your prayers but they won’t be heard
God is busy and he don’t like you
He just points and laughs
At all the crazy assinine things you do
Saying Ha Ha Ha, He He He
All the stupid humans they just entertain me
Jumping up and down like a bunch of flees
Draining the earth of all its beauty
He He He, Ha Ha Ha
So you went to the moon and you drove a car
You fancy yourself pretty smart
You’re just a bird in a cage
That never went far
Born unwanted with a family curse
Life as a loner goes from bad to worse
You’re searching for Jesus
But he left the church about a month ago
I heard he was living down in Oceanside
Turning salt water into cheap red wine
Drunk on the beach laughing all the time
Under the starry skies Change in your pocket now you’re almost broke
Like your heart that melted down an icy slope
Your dream of swinging from a heavy rope
Won’t come true
Words in the good book are as clear as day
If you murder yourself there’ll be hell to pay
You’re just a bad actor in God’s own play
And he’s laughing out loud at you
Saying Ha Ha Ha, He He He
All the stupid humans they just entertain me
Jumping up and down like a bunch of flees
Draining the earth of all its beauty
He He He, Ha Ha Ha
So you went to the moon and you drove a car
You fancy yourself pretty smart
You’re just a bird in a cage that never went far
Everyone will let you down
Everything you try won’t work out
You think you’re flying high
But brothers and sisters, we ain’t left the ground
