"Bullet With Butterfly Wings" lyrics

"Bullet With Butterfly Wings"
(originally by The Smashing Pumpkins)

World is a vampire
Sent to drain
Secret destroyers
Hold you up to the flames
And what do I catch
A form of pain
Betray designs
And a piece of game

And even though I know
I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold
Like a drum

Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage
Someone will say "What is lost can never be saved."
Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage

Now I'm naked
Nothing but an animal
Can you fake it
For just one more show?
And what do you want?
I want change
And what do you got?
We feel the shame

And even though I know
I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold
Like a drum

Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage
Someone will say "What is lost can never be saved."
Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage

Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus Christ the holy son
Tel me I'm the chosen one
Jesus Christ the holy son

Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage
Someone will say "What is lost can never be saved."
Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a
Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a
Despite all my rage, I'm still just a rat in a cage

I still believe that I cannot be saved
I still believe that I cannot be saved
I still believe that I cannot be saved
I still believe that I cannot be saved
I still believe that I cannot be saved
I still believe that I cannot be saved
