You drink a pint just to start your day
An excellent way to build your cage
♪
Afternoon rolls around too soon
So you drink some more
To get you through
Building your cage (building your cage)
Building your cage
Work is over as you finish your lock
As you close the door at two o'clock
It's a cry of shame
And who's to blame?
Your brothers and sisters
Or dad and mom for bringing you up wrong
Dad and mom for bringing you up wrong
I can't believe you can't see the sign
What is going on inside your mind
You're looking down and not ahead
The way you're going you'll soon be dead
♪
Can't you see just how far you've gone
And how many people you've dragged along
Building your cage (building your cage)
Building your cage
Only so much more to say
Before you go and throw the keys away
Building your cage (building your cage)
Building your cage
I hope you've heard what I said
I don't want to see you waking up dead
It's a cry of shame
But who's to blame?
Your brothers and sisters
Or dad and mom for bringing you up wrong
Dad and mom for bringing you up wrong
I can't believe you can't see the sign
What is going on inside your mind
You've thrown it all away
