Paper Cages Songtext
von Franz Ferdinand

Step out
Step out of our cages
Step out
Of our paper cages
Step out
Step out of our cages
Out of our cages
Out of our cages
Step out


I like the look of your place
Yes, I love your construction
Did you carve a wee key
From the soap in your kitchen
To turn in a lock
Of your own penal fiction
You′re so vivid and free in your imagination
Well we'll never be free
If our incarceration is a story we tell
A tale of invention
Is a personal choice
Personal conviction
Or are you living like me in paper cages?

Step out
Step out of our cages
Step out
Of our paper cages
Step out
Step out of our cages
We′re living our lives in paper cages
Step out

When you took on your bid
Did you make up your number?
Did you walk like a punk
To the screws at your counter?
Did you say you can't win
When you are the system
That contains in paper cages?


Step out
Step out of our cages
Step out
Of our paper cages
Step out
Step out of our cages
We're living our lives in paper cages
Step out

C′mon

Living our lives in paper cages
Living our lives in paper cages
Living our lives in paper cages

Step out
Step out of our cages
Step out
Of our paper cages
Step out
Step out of our cages
We′re living our lives in paper cages
Step out
