[Intro] From the rooftop, I watch the parade — too much noise, and nothing to say. They call it progress, I call it delay. [saxophone solo] [Verse 1] Humans love cages with shiny locks, paying for fear, praying to clocks. They chase their tails in traffic lines, lost in screens, pretending they shine. [instrumental] Talking ‘bout love with empty eyes, posting hearts just to get by. They wear their freedom like a brand, but need Wi-Fi to understand. [Bridge, electric xylophone solo] [Chorus, electric violin] I’m just a cat, no suit, no plan, sleep where I fall, eat what I can. They sell their peace, they buy their pain, and call it life — again, again. I got no master, no moral trap, I nap in alleys, they nap in apps. Humans so smart, yet so insane — forget they’re beasts with fancy names. [Verse 2] They breathe in rules, exhale regret, invent new gods they soon forget. They meditate on rented time, and sell their soul for overtime. They build their walls, then want the sky, teach their kids how not to cry. I watch them spin from my domain — the clever fools that run the game. [Chorus, electric violin] I’m just a cat, born street, not tame, don’t wear a mask, don’t play that game. They plan forever, ignore the now, chasing a dream they can’t allow. [Bridge – fast ska section] They preach love, but scroll in war, buying peace from corner stores. They talk of truth, but sell the lies, then drink to sleep and fantasize. [Break – spoken, ironic tone] I don’t search for meaning, I don’t chase fame — they call it purpose, I call it a chain. [Final Chorus] I’m just a cat, with a beat, with claws, no law, no job, no god, no boss. They keep on running, I just stare — the world’s on fire, I lick my hair. (Outro – with horns and chorus) Miaow! 🎷 Ska alive! 🎺 The cat observes — and still survives
