This Cage of Ours

You all live your lives so freely
Like you're wise, content, and true,
But we'd rather think you're sorry,
And be glad we're not like you.

Can't you tell that we are happy;
Don't you see we're smiling thus?
We can paint our faces joyful,
And it cheers up all of us.

We don't drink or smoke like you do,
We no longer thus engage.
We are safe from such temptation,
Cause we're locked inside this cage.

We can sing and dance inside it
Like we're free and having fun.
We can sing ring-around-the-rosy,
Though there's not much room to run.

It delivers us from evil,
So herein we choose to dwell.
Those inside will go to heaven,
All the rest will roast in hell.

This was promised from the ancients
We'll remind ourselves each day
To make certain we stay humble,
And be sure we all obey.

"They're a cult" we heard one murmur,
"They're fanatics!" somone cried!
Then, we called that "persecution"
And it bonded us in pride.

But there is a hidden reason
That we tell ourselves this lie:
It's because we're scared of living,
And 'cause we're afraid to die.

So don't taunt us with your logic:
Keep your common sense away.
We'll stay inside this cage of ours,
And won't be led astray!
