In a temporary lapse of sanity

You've been subdued by your own false sense of security

You're a prisoner of your own privilege

You fail to see the bars for what they are

NOW YOU'VE BEEN SUBDUED

You live your life exactly how they tell it

You agree no matter how they sell it

An unconscious effort to remain subdued

NOW YOU'VE BEEN SUBDUED

Complain about your life as you waste away

Never flying free from that golden cage

You're a prisoner of your own privilege

You fail to see the bars for what they are, come on
