Lyrics

Why do we play with fire?

Why do we run our finger through the flame?

Why do we leave our hand on the stove

Although we know we're in for some pain?

Oh, why do we refuse to hang a light

When the streets are dangerous?

Why does it take an accident

Before the truth gets through to us?

Cages or wings?

Which do you prefer?

Ask the birds

Fear or love, baby?

Don't say the answer

Actions speak louder than words

Why should we try to be our best

When we can just get by and still gain?

Why do we nod our heads

Although we know

The boss is wrong as rain?

Why should we blaze a trail

When the well worn path seems safe and

So inviting?

How, as we travel, can we

See the dismay

And keep from fighting?

Cages or wings? (Cages or wings?)

Which do you prefer?

Ask the birds

Fear or love, baby?

Don't say the answer

Actions speak louder than words (Louder than, louder than)

What does it take

To wake up a generation?

How can you make someone

Take off and fly?

If we don't wake up

And shake up the nation

We'll eat the dust of the world

Wondering why

(Why) Why

Why do we stay with lovers

Who we know, down deep

Just aren't right?

Why would we rather

Put ourselves through hell

Than sleep alone at night?

Why do we follow leaders who never lead?

Why does it take catastrophe to start a revolution?

If we're so free, tell me why?

Someone tell me why

So many people bleed?

Cages or wings? (Cages or wings?)

Which do you prefer?

Ask the birds

Fear or love, baby?

Don't say the answer

Actions speak louder than

Louder than, louder than

Louder than, louder than

Cages or wings?

Which do you prefer?

Ask the birds

Fear or love, baby?

Don't say the answer

Actions speak louder

(Louder than, louder than, ooh) They speak louder

(Louder than, louder than words) Actions speak louder than
