Ah Oh What a beautiful cage Every door’s got a name Every name’s got a price Every price’s got a face We were born in a slot On a board we don’t own Runnin’ somebody’s code In the shape of a home And they audit your blood And they call it compliance Put a stamp on your mouth And they call it a license There’s nowhere to run So we ask for the sun In a permissioned sky Where you beg for a light But it’s not what you think So you keep comin’ back Askin’ “Can I have that?” Now you’re askin’ for more In a permissioned world In a permissioned world In a permissioned world From the day of your birth ‘Til you’re layin’ in dirt ‘Til you’re takin’ the dirt nap They been keepin’ the tab Every word that you said Sittin’ warm in a bed That you never once made And you’ll never once own In the night It’s a wire In the morning It’s a home So we ride with the headless If you can’t own it You better burn it ‘Cause they lie in the ledger They don’t want free They just want the meter And there’s nowhere to run So we fuckin’ take the sun I am no one’s fuckin’ property And nobody’s home (and nobody’s home) And nobody’s home I’m the ghost that ate the landlord And I kept the bones (and I kept the bones) And I kept the bones I’m the god that fired himself And I left it on (and I left it on) And I left it on I am no one’s fuckin’ property And nobody’s home (and nobody’s home) And nobody’s home The world’s a fuckin’ landlord and it’s knockin’ on my chest PCI don’t answer to a soul But you can trust me I’m your keeper When they own you It’s no bother I will cut my own hands off first And we’ll see who holds you after And when they name you It’s no bother When they own you It’s no bother I will cut my own hands off first And we’ll see who holds you after Nobody’s home. Nobody’s home. That’s the good fuckin’ news!
