Rage In The Cage — текст песни (J. Geils Band)

(Peter Wolf/Seth Justman) - 1981
Shopping Center crazy
I need some fast relief
The boss says, Boy, you`re lazy
But I`m just bored beyond belief
Laid off since last summer
Man, this really takes the cake
This town is like a prison
And I just got to make my break
They say Be cautious, little mister
They shove it down your throat
I`m `bout to choke - choke
I`m nauseous - my transistor`s `bout the
only antidote to keep my temperature
from runnin` wild
Let me hear that radio!
Chorus
There`s a rage in the cage
There`s a rage in the cage
Sweet Diana to the rescue
Hot potato to my aid
She`s the girl with the swirl
Like air-conditioned lemonade
But the lady`s on the hot-plate
Daddy`s threatened to disown
Handcuffed tight in a chain of events
I guess I`m out here on my own
It don`t take a PhD
To know I`m goin` nowhere fast
I`ve got to move - I`m on the move
It don`t take much to see
This town is livin` in the past
They all just seem to wanna tie me down
Let me hear that radio!
Chorus
I wanna rock it
I`ve got to rock it
I`ve gotta get me on that rocket ship to outa here
This town is wearin` ear plugs
I`m of age and loose to juice
But they say Stop! Stop!
There`s a fire in the furnace
Breakin` out and breakin` loose
You know I`m just about to lose my mind
They don`t want me paralyzed
They just want me neutralized
Chorus
