The Cage

Intro Yeah!! They think it's just a movie They think it's just Hollywood CGI But there's real history in the dirt From the camps of Indochina to the silver screen Verse 1 Back in 1942 Boulle was locked inside a wire Sweating in the jungle heat working in the fire A secret agent captured stripped of his name Watching human captors play a brutal vicious game They treated men like animals beat 'em to the bone Forced to build the bridges while they suffered all alone He saw the world flip saw the civilized decline Guards acting savage on the military line So he took that trauma took the hatred in his chest And he wrote a twisted mirror just to put it to the test Changed the guards to primates put the humans in the chains Gave the apes the rifles and the scientific brains La Planète des Singes yeah he put it on the page A warning to the world about the prison and the cage Chorus Welcome to the planet where the timeline rearranged Where the masters and the animals completely got exchanged From the pages of the book to the Hollywood screen It's a dark psychological dystopian scene Yeah, it's the world of the apes see the cages in the dirt A mirror to the history and the people that got hurt! Verse 2 Long before our time the story first hit the screen Now it's grown into a massive modern franchise scene People know the legacy the Statue of Liberty But they don't see the real world prison camp history Now the kids are watching sequels with the high-tech CGI Rooting for Caesar while the action sequences fly They think it's just a sci-fi flick to pass the summer days Lost inside the spectacle and Hollywood praise But beneath the ape makeup and the Hollywood gold Is the story of the captives shivering in the cold It’s a mirror to the guards who thought that they were supreme Until the roles reversed like a terrifying dream So when we watch the movie and we hear gorillas roar We gotta remember Boulle and the reality of war. Chorus Welcome to the planet where the timeline rearranged Where the masters and the animals completely got exchanged From the pages of the book to the Hollywood screen It's a dark psychological dystopian scene Yeah, it's the world of the apes see the cages in the dirt A mirror to the history and the people that got hurt! Outro Yeah It's not just a movie buds!!! Look past the screen See the cage World of the Apes we out
