lyrics

One day when I was out walking with my son,
He said to me, "Father what is there that is to be done?"
We had seen a stray kitten out in a den of dog lovers,
The alpha rough types and the mean wolf mothers.

Well I am no historian but I have made time for perspective,
And I have never cut the tongue from any witness.
When you sing out like a liar,
Every chorus can sound like a honey drenched choir.

It reminds me of something my sweet sister used to tell me,
She said "You can find better facts in fiction if you want something to believe in.
And beware of the witch in the water--
She's got nothing left to lose but your faith in human dignity."

Baby, don't believe in cages, you're gonna love the thrill,
Of everything changing while you get your fill.
Baby, don't believe in cages, you're gonna love the thread,
Nothing changes like complications anyway.
