Only fools would lock birds in a cage.
There they grow, and with them grows their rage.
In their eyes you can see the desire
to break free, to tear down the barbed wire,
and to launch at their captor, with claws—
sinking deep in his flesh all because—
—only fools would lock birds in a cage,
where they grow, and with them grows their rage.

Only fools would lock birds in a cage.
There they grow, and with them grows their rage.
In their eyes you can see the desire
to break free, to tear down the barbed wire,
and to launch at their captor, with claws—
sinking deep in his flesh all because—
—only fools would lock birds in a cage,
where they grow, and with them grows their rage.
