Break the cage

All we know is what we see
All we do is watch t.v.
Re-run everyday, go to work, go to school
Make good grades
To be content with settlement
Means somewhere along the way
The dream was lost for the pay
The time was spent
For a wage
And that's okay, but when you look back
Could you really say
You're proud of who you are today
And if not...
Are you brave enough to break the cage
