bad breeding - gilded cage lyrics

decency torn and
bludgeoned in the name
of divine growth
trauma taught as nature
the deserving take the worst
freedom in the gilded cage
security and sanctuary
furnished out of view
austerity’s ruin drifting in the static
strung out in wake, conditioned for defeat
flowers of change
poisoned by myth
forever in sight
held beyond reach
robbed of support and solace
across a lifetime of drip+fed shame
complicity builds their sanctuary
our freedom in the gilded cage

in the haze of someone’s prosperity
count the boarded shopfronts
and eyes glossed with grief
the promise of fulfilment traded for the currency of brutality
to grind you into insignificance
chasing history’s tail
hoodwinked and atomised in pursuit of the self
degraded and marooned by greed
separation will set you free
nailed to the cross of despondency
farce and distraction conceal the blade
worked into abstraction: poorer, wearier and more alone
the frictionless innovation of destitution
forty hours to watch them starve and smile to hide the shame
on the kitchen floor of another buy+to+let
dope+sick or job+sick?
playgrounds of landfill and rivers of human sh+t
standing outside my body, chasing time and where it went
but h++rded gold will one day turn to dine on venal flesh
visualise a future beyond this gilded cage
