Lyrics
[Verse 1]
[F]
They came at dawn with the papers,
took a name off the floor.
[M]
Took a mother from the kitchen,
pulled a child from the door.
[F]
Cold room, hard light, no blanket,
just a number on a wall.
[M]
But the names in your mouth still matter,
you can hear us through it all.
[Pre-Chorus]
[F]
Who gave them this power?
[M]
Who told them to lock us down?
[F]
Who turned fear into business?
[M]
We are here, we are loud.
[Chorus]
[All]
No cage for us!
No cage for us!
Hands up, stand up!
No cage for us!
[F]
Not one more night in the cold!
[M]
Not one more child out here alone!
[All]
No cage for us!
No cage for us!
[Verse 2]
[F]
They write their lines like orders,
but we read every scar.
[M]
Bruised wrists, lost shoes, thin voices,
all the stories travel far.
[F]
If you hear that gate slam shut,
beat the rhythm on the street.
[M]
Every door they try to close
opens in a thousand feet.
[Pre-Chorus]
[F]
Who gave them this power?
[M]
Who told them to lock us down?
[F]
Who turned fear into business?
[M]
We are here, we are loud.
[Chorus]
[All]
No cage for us!
No cage for us!
Hands up, stand up!
No cage for us!
[F]
Not one more night in the cold!
[M]
Not one more child out here alone!
[All]
No cage for us!
No cage for us!
[Bridge]
[F]
Say their names
[M]
Say their names
[F]
Say their names
[M]
Say their names
[All]
We remember every face
We remember every place
From the van to the chain-link gate
We will not look away
[Final Chorus]
[All]
No cage for us!
No cage for us!
Hands up, stand up!
No cage for us!
[F]
Not one more night in the cold!
[M]
Not one more child out here alone!
[All]
No cage for us!
No cage for us!
No cage for us!
