Flobots
Rattle the Cage
[Verse 1: Jonny 5]
I can't get my computer to boot, cancel everything
There’s an active shooter on a new campus everyday
What’s that have to do with me? My movement would never take
Anybody's life
What I have to do to prove it to you? Whatever, say:
We are not alike
We are not alike
Look at me, look at you
I can see what you do from the evil, I separate
Look at you, look at me
I maneuver and flee from you people, I segregate
Get it straight
We are not alike, I don't peddle hate
I just go to the booth and I meditate
And I breathe and I eat and I puke and I defecate

[Hook]
Don't rattle the cage if you wanna come out
Don't rattle the cage if you wanna come out

[Verse 2]
Fire in the sky
Masses at the border
Shadows in the night
Faces of disorder
Rivers made of blood
Skeletons in closets
Bodies in the mud
Torturers on crosses
Wretched of the earth
Undeserved sentence
Reckoning of curses
Long-awaited vengeance
Executed messengers piled up upon the entrance
Clamor of the stenches threaten overwhelm the senses
[Hook]
Don't rattle the cage if you wanna come out
Don't rattle the cage if you wanna come out
Don't rattle the cage if you wanna come out
Don't rattle the cage if you wanna come out

[Verse 3: Jonny 5]
There's an active shooter on the news and I speculate
That it has to do with something you bastards said today
See your attitudes and backwards views, they miseducate
It is not all right
All the chatter you decide to spew when you agitate
Till they slaughter life
It is not all right
You’re not speaking the truth, I can see what you do to the people: make them afraid
Look at you, look at me
See your movement is evil, we need to eradicate
Get away
It is not all right that you peddle hate
You’re the reason I rally and rattle cage
'Cause you're leavin the people not breathing and dead afraid

[Bridge]
We rattle the cage cause we wanna come out
(In the war against fear)
We rattle the cage cause we wanna come out
(We are on the same side)
We rattle the cage cause we wanna come out
(In the war against fear)
We wanna come out
(We are on the same side)
We rattle the cage cause we wanna come out
(That's why we rattle the cage)
(That's why we rattle the cage)
We wanna come out
[Outro]
We rattle the cage cause we wanna come out
We wanna come out, we wanna come out
We rattle the cage cause we wanna come out
We wanna come out, we wanna come out
We rattle the cage cause we wanna come out
We wanna come out, we wanna come out
We rattle the cage cause we wanna come out
