Bullet with butterfly wings


The world is a vampire, sent to drain
Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
And what do I get, for my pain
Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game

Even though I know-I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold-like old job

Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a cage

Now I'm naked, nothing but an animal
But can you fake it, for just one more show
And what do you want, I want to change
And what have you got
When you feel the same

Even though I know-I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold-like old job

Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage
I am still just a rat in a cage

Tell me I'm the only one
Tell me there's no other one
Jesus was the only son
Tell me I'm the chosen one
Jesus was the only son for you

Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
And I still believe that I cannot be saved

The Smashing Pumpkins, “Mellon Collie and the infinite sadness”, 1995


Uma das minhas bandas preferidas de todos os tempos, uma das melhores músicas que já fizeram.
Adoro a imagem que o título sugere. O poema é bastante agressivo, simplesmente genial.
