(Verse 2) Congress in his hands, history in dirt Every word he held, another chance to hurt Men in blue roaring, spitting out disdain They’re kings of the chaos, prophets of the pain (Pre-Chorus) Mud flew like bullets, lies filled the room Every scream a hammer, every laugh a tomb They don’t want the truth, they don’t want the brave They just want the filth of this shit cage (Chorus) We’re stuck in this shit cage, tearing up the night Screaming out our anger, but losing every fight Nic stands in the madness, eyes dead but alive In this shit cage, will the truth survive? (Bridge) Oh Nic, your eyes say what we won’t confess We’re drowning in the dirt of our own mess History’s written on a soiled page We’re prisoners of fury in this shit cage (Breakdown) Can you hear the rage? Feel the filthy stage? Nic Cage in the shit cage, No heroes left to save… (Chorus) We’re stuck in this shit cage, tearing up the night Screaming out our anger, but losing every fight Nic stands in the madness, eyes dead but alive In this shit cage, will the truth survive? (Outro) So hold up your paper, let the world engage We’re all just actors… …in this shit cage.
