So you feel like you're all grown up nowA great big fish in a great big townWith the whole wide world at your fingertipsAll slicked back and ruby lippedAn all-star player at the front of the lineKissing lots of ass and working overtimeYou got real good at acting your ageYou're a bird in search of a cageEver since you were young it's been push, push, pushAnd now looking back it seems torturousYou say I'm the greatest thing that this worlds ever seenMy mommy and daddy wouldn't lie to meThey gave me everything that they thought I would needA sack of gold and a sack of leavesHit me real good and screamed with rageNow I'm a bird in search of a cageA sack of gold, a sack of leavesA sack of dirt for us to eatCross the road, walk the tracksOpen your eyes and don't look backYou got an eight-ball in your coat and some money in your walletSongtexteA hundred dollar bill is rolled up in your pocketIt's a fast, fast world for a fast, fast guyThe king of the hill with your head in the skyYou sold that sack of gold a long time agoAnd the big bag of leaves was getting oldStrutting around like you're on a stageDirty little bird found a dirty little cageTime's gone by and you're feeling pretty oldAll your friends stopped calling back a long time agoYou know there's something missing but you don't know whatIt ain't money, ain't power, ain't a silky little slutYou're a time bomb, time bomb born without a fuseCredit's running out and the bills are coming dueNow your wings are all shriveled and you're counting up your daysThe door's always open but you love your filthy cage Aus Songtexte Mania
