Franz Ferdinand - Paper Cages Lyrics

Franz Ferdinand Lyrics

"Paper Cages"

Step out, step out of our cages
Step out of our paper cages
Step out, step out of our cages
Out of our cages, out of our cages
Step out

I like the look of your place, yes, I love your construction
Did you carve a wee key from the soap in your kitchen
To turn in a lock of your own penal fiction?
You're so vivid and free in your imagination
Well, we'll never be free if our incarceration
Is a story we tell, a tale of invention
Is it personal choice, personal conviction
Or are you living like me in paper cages?

Step out, step out of our cages
Step out of our paper cages
Step out, step out of our cages
We're living our lives in paper cages
Step out

When you took on your bid, did you make up your number?
Did you walk like a punk to the screws at your counter?
Did you say you can't win when you are the system
That contains in paper cages?

Step out, step out of our cages
Step out of our paper cages
Step out, step out of our cages
We're living our lives in paper cages
Step out

Living our lives in paper cages
Living our lives in paper cages
Living our lives in paper cages
Step out

Step out, step out of our cages
Step out of our paper cages
Step out, step out of our cages
We're living our lives in paper cages
Step out
