Refugee: Keep the lion in the cage [lyrics]

Refugee

Keep the lion in the cage

Danny says he's gonna get free tonight

He's gonna put his money on an early flight

Gotta nail him down 

C'mon ????

Keep the lion in the cage

And he go out through the backdoor

And over the fence

To stay any longer doesn't make much sense

But the easy chair

The dollars and cents 

Gonna keep the lion in the cage

He feel chains, he feel doubt

He wanna know what the world's about

We can let him scream but we can't let him out 

Gotta keep the lion in the cage

He go runnin' through the fire

Runnin' through the sleet

Freezing from the cold

Burning from the heat

We gotta keep him running on the same old street

Gotta keep the lion in the cage

(Oh mamma, please don't be concerned

He's only dancing, he's only dancing

No, no, no, no one's gonna burn

He's only dancing)

Dreams in his heart, dollars in his head

So well kept, so well fed

That he'll never get out

He's gonna wind up dead

Workin' for the minimun wage

There ain't nothin' here new

Nothin' here strange

Just one more dreamer re-arranged

And the world stays flat

Nothin's gonna change

We gotta keep the lion in the cage

We gotta keep the lion in the cage
