Every Sunday morning as I sit in the morgue, watching the sea of heads nod back and forth,
They cry how bad things have gotten in the past few years, then they walk out the door back to their chores, dead from ear to ear.
You just can’t go on and think that it’s all right, just sit back, and let someone else fight,
What will it take to bring you back to life, to get you up and fight?
I’m gonna rattle your cage – don’t you see what’s happening here?
I’m gonna rattle your cage – your eyes are open, but you just don’t care,
I’m gonna rattle your cage – you say, “I want this world to change,”
I’m gonna rattle your cage – nothing’s gonna change if you just complain.
Politician one or politician two?
They’re gonna make it happen all for you, yeah,
Making laws you don’t believe in, so you turn the tube off ‘cause you had enough,
Back in your world again.
You just can’t go on and think that it’s all right, just sit back, and let someone else fight,
What will it take to bring you back to life, to get you up and fight?
Oh yeah.
I’m gonna rattle your cage – don’t you see what’s happening here?
I’m gonna rattle your cage – your eyes are open, but you just don’t care,
I’m gonna rattle your cage – you say, “I want this world to change,”
I’m gonna rattle your cage – nothing’s gonna change if you just complain.
You just can’t go on and think that it’s all right, just sit back, and let someone else fight,
What will it take to bring you back to life, to get you up and fight?
I’m gonna rattle your cage – don’t you see what’s happening here?
I’m gonna rattle your cage – your eyes are open, but you just don’t care,
I’m gonna rattle your cage – you say, “I want this world to change,”
I’m gonna rattle your cage – nothing’s gonna change if you just complain.
I’m gonna rattle your cage,
I’m gonna rattle your cage,
I’m gonna rattle your cage,
I’m gonna rattle your cage.
