(clean guitar)
what do you want
I won't change
what do you got
I feel the same

even though you know
even though you'll show
what you want won't show
I should know....

(loud chorus)
despite all my rage i'm still just a rat in the cage
despite all my rage i'm still just a rat in the cage
someone was saved but his loss can never be saved
despite all my rage i'm still just a rat in the cage

(back to clean, quiet guitar)
what do you want
and how do you feel
and what do you see
and what will you steal

even though you know
even though you'll show
what you want ain't real
I should know

(loud chorus)
despite all my rage i'm still just a rat in the cage
despite all my rage i'm still just a rat in the cage
and someone was saved but his loss can never be saved
despite all my rage i'm still just a rat in the cage

(bridge)

(quiet chorus, just billy & guitar)
despite all my rage i'm still just a rat in the cage
despite all my rage i'm still just a rat in the cage
and someone was saved but his loss can never be saved
despite all my rage i'm still just a rat in the cage....

(loud chorus)
despite all my rage i'm still just a rat in the cage
despite all my rage i'm still just a rat in a cage

I still believe that I cannot (stay/see/say?)
I still believe that I cannot (stay/see/say?)
I still believe that I cannot (stay/see/say?)
I still believe that I cannot (stay/see/say?)
I still believe that I cannot (stay/see/say?)

(mini solo)
I still believe that I cannot (stay/see/say?)
