The Cage You've Built (Is Your Own)


Well you name them caravan

And you name them plague

And a threat that must be defeated

And you name them convicts, liars, and crooks

And as they’re named so they will be treated

You can lock them in chains

Or block off them their way

Or just send them back down the road

But the cage you build is your own

You name them enemy and you name them dirt

You name them the thief and the stranger

And you’ll warn any man who offers them help

That he’s putting his own life in danger

You can hide with your hatred

You can hide with your fear

But deep down you always will know

But the cage you build is your own
