Have you ever lived in a cage?  Where you live to be whipped and be tamed. 
                                 Ab     Gb   Db     Eb      Bb7 
Oh I've never loved in a cage or talked to a friend or just waved.

Ah - woo - ooo  A - woo - ooo  ohh - ahh

Well I walk while they talk about virtue. 
     Bb7          Eb7         Bb7 
Just raised on my back legs & snarled 
            Bb7           Eb7        Bb7           Ab   Gb    Db    Eb    Bb7 
Watched you kiss your old daddy with passion - and tell dirty jokes as he died.

Ah - woo - ooo  A - woo - ooo  ohh - ahh

But I'm damned when I really care there.

For the cellar's the room in your lives. 
          Bb7                                Ab        Gb    Db      Eb   Bb7 
Where you lace yourself with bad whiskey and close the cage doors on your life. 
     Gb             F7               Bb7 
Ah - roo - hoo. A - roo - hoo. Ahh - ahh.

Sing songs that I learnt as a boy. 
     Bb7            Eb7        Bb7         Ab   Gb      Db    Eb Bb7 
Then break all the bones in my body on the bars you can never destroy.

Ah - woo - ooo  A - woo - ooo  ohh - ahh

               Eb7        Bb7     Ab     Gb   Db     Eb      Bb7 
For I've never loved in a cage or talked to a friend or just waved.
