I've been writing letters since that confession Was beaten out of me and now I'll spend my life alone We are all children whose fate was sealed When it was decided we wouldn't be given a chance to grow If you grew up where we did, would you be different? I guess we'll never know If you saw things I've seen, would you turn our like me? I guess we'll never know Why can't you understand our lives are in your hands? Spinning out of control so you put me in a cage When the effects of this social test are felt you will see It will be far too late to simply reverse this A generation rendered fatherless Watch it unravel and then you'll know It's not that hard to figure out We're unwilling pawns but there's no doubt We'd watch the laws all quickly change The day the rich kids are treated the same If you put me in a cage Don't be shocked then on the day That I turn into an animal Feeding on your apathy and hate
