You are a Golden Canary
Spend your days
Wishing you were free
You are a Golden Canary
Made your choices
Chose captivity
You'll never be the things
You say you want to be
Live your life singing
In misery
You'll never be as free
As the eagle flies
Don't realise that you chose
Carelessly
You are a Golden Canary
Spend your days
Wishing you were free
You are a Golden Canary
Made your choices
Chose captivity
The wheels of industry
Pass you by
Other lives come and go
As you sit helplessly
Ongoing chain of life's
Productivity
The end goal not something
That you will see
You are a Golden Canary
Spend your days
Wishing you were free
You are a Golden Canary
Made your choices
Chose captivity
Got to keep on, got to be strong
Got to keep on, got to work long
Your life replaced as you take
Your final breath
No lasting home in the mind
Of the ones you saved
No legacy that stays
In their memory
This sacrifice is not
The one you made
You are a Golden Canary
Spend your days
Wishing you were free
You are a Golden Canary
Made your choices
Chose captivity
