Rage In The Cage Lyrics - Freeze Frame - J. Geils Band

Shopping Center crazy 

I need some fast relief 

The boss says, "Boy, you're lazy" 

But I'm just bored beyond belief 

Laid off since last summer 

Man, this really takes the cake 

This town is like a prison 

And I just got to make my break 

They say "Be cautious, little mister" 

They shove it down your throat 

I'm 'bout to choke - choke 

I'm nauseous - my transistor's 'bout the 

only antidote to keep my temperature 

from runnin' wild 

Let me hear that radio! 

Chorus 

There's a rage in the cage 

There's a rage in the cage 

Sweet Diana to the rescue 

Hot potato to my aid 

She's the girl with the swirl 

Like air-conditioned lemonade 

But the lady's on the hot-plate 

Daddy's threatened to disown 

Handcuffed tight in a chain of events 

I guess I'm out here on my own 

It don't take a PhD 

To know I'm goin' nowhere fast 

I've got to move, I'm on the move 

It don't take much to see 

This town is livin' in the past 

They all just seem to want to tie me down 

Let me hear that radio! 

Chorus 

I want to rock it 

I've got to rock it 

I've gotta get me on that rocket ship to outa here 

This town is wearin' ear plugs 

I'm of age and loose to juice 

But they say Stop! Stop! 

There's a fire in the furnace 

Breakin' out and breakin' loose 

You know I'm just about to lose my mind 

They don't want me paralyzed 

They just want me neutralized 

Chorus
