Pigeon

You're safe while you're a pigeon, they throw you popcorn and stale bread You're the domesticated animal with no wings inside your head They tie strings around your leg, letting you believe they really care You think you can fly as far as you want but, you're just their kite flapping on the air I saw you land in the park again, as you walk the gutter too You certainly think you're as free as a bird, never knowing you're really their coup Yes, you're safe while you're a pigeon, until your mind grows wings To remember you have a human soul and its time to cut the strings
