Franz Ferdinand
Paper Cages
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
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 it personal choice, personal conviction
Or are you living like me in paper cages?
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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?
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
Living our lives in paper cages
Living our lives in paper cages
Living our lives in paper cages
Step out
[Chorus]
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
