In a temporary lapse of sanity
You've been subdued by your own false sense of security
You're a prisoner of your own privilege
You fail to see the bars for what they are
NOW YOU'VE BEEN SUBDUED
You live your life exactly how they tell it
You agree no matter how they sell it
An unconscious effort to remain subdued
NOW YOU'VE BEEN SUBDUED
Complain about your life as you waste away
Never flying free from that golden cage
You're a prisoner of your own privilege
You fail to see the bars for what they are, come on
