The Hawk Buried In Shade

Beneath the cold steel of ambition's glare A hawk once danced, freed into the air Yet, ousted by greed, a family frayed In this cage you're not alone, not alone, you're not alone Wings clipped as you chase the finish line A pay-rise just enough to pen you inside Wings clipped as you chase that finish line Each pay-rise just enough to keep you in line Wings clipped as you chase the finish line A pay-rise just enough to pen you inside Wings clipped as you chase that finish line Each pay-rise just enough to keep you in line Within the bars of despair, a silent plea Stock market zealotry, a soul in apathy Detained, this cage, forged from decay The hawk buried in shade, dreams betrayed BLEGH Wings clipped as you chase the finish line A pay-rise just enough to pen you inside Wings clipped as you chase that finish line Each pay-rise just enough to keep you in line Wings clipped as you chase the finish line A pay-rise just enough to pen you inside Wings clipped as you chase that finish line Each pay-rise just enough to keep you in line Within the bars of despair, a silent plea Stock market zealotry, a soul in apathy Detained, this cage, forged from decay The hawk buried in shade, dreams betrayed BLEGH Through concrete canyons, where vultures thrive They'll connive with you, and eat you alive Devoted to the race, a family estranged The hawk in its cage taken away, its freedom exchanged It's freedom exchanged Buried in shade Left to decay Freedom exchanged Buried in shade BLEGH Do you know the price that you'll have to pay If you waste away as a corporate slave Watch, as they deceive you "In the rat race we comply!" Never forget the price of your blind eye An eye to watch the world pass by Never forget, your life is ending Yet in this moment, it's only just begun! Wings clipped as you chase the finish line A pay-rise just enough to pen you inside Wings clipped as you chase that finish line Each pay-rise just enough to keep you in line Wings clipped as you chase the finish line A pay-rise just enough to pen you inside Wings clipped as you chase that finish line Each pay-rise just enough to keep you in line Keep you in line Keep you in line
