Scent carries the news of the world Home to the animals I live alongside Creatures of the small cage Smaller than my own And whenever it all gets quiet Looking out through the kitchen window You're haunted by the murmuring Of something better, of something else You thought you could build yourself A safe little home As the four walls went up You saw less and less And you didn't notice You built yourself a cell I might complain and cry But still I climb inside Everybody (loves a cage) Everybody knows (loves a cage) Everybody (loves a cage) Everybody knows (a cage) Everybody (loves a cage) Everybody knows (a cage)
