1
I take a steam train to work
2
Just like the one my father took
3
And I pass over the walls
4
I see the people as I look
5
I see--there's the block
6
For folks with yellow skin;
7
There's the block for folks who have no chin;
8
There's the block for me and all my kin;
9
And over there is the change cage where we throw the rebels in
10
I work the change cage
11
Here on our side of the wall
12
And I will hold the key until the day they say the cage will fall
13
Here on our side of the wall
14
And I will hold the key until the day they say the cage will fall
15
Walls of iron bolted with steel
16
Two miles high, that should hide how we feel
17
And in the city we've walled off each block
18
This should work to segregate any racial melting pot.
19
Long ago we learned of the trouble
20
When a man steps out of his life's plastic bubble
21
So we walled off the city, caged thoughts that were free
22
And now our lives are safe from any change that
23
Could have come between you and me
24
I work the change cage
25
Here on our side of the wall
26
And I will hold the key until the day they say the cage will fall
27
Here on our side of the wall
28
And I will hold the key until the day they say the cage will fall
29
I work the change cage
30
Here on our side of the wall
31
And I will hold the key until the day they say the cage will fall
32
Here on our side of the wall
33
And I will hold the key until the day they say the cage will fall
34
They say an artist from block 616
35
Revived some old art just for his own kicks.
36
They say his pictures were lewd,
37
They say his women were nude
38
So we throw them inside
39
Well, now, that artist can run, he can hide
40
But sooner or later we'll throw him inside
41
I don't think the people should see,
42
Well that's not art to me,
43
So we'll throw them inside
44
I work the change cage
45
Here on our side of the wall
46
And I will hold the key until the day they say the cage will fall
47
Here on our side of the wall
48
And I will hold the key until the day they say the cage will fall...
