Lyrics

Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh

Why would you pay to see me in a cage?
And why would you pay to someone in a cage
Which the whole world calls the stage?

Listen, now I have gone, you will know
I was the only one that would gladly die
What was wrong in the eyes of the cruel and unwise
They killed a man for his giro today

But oh, he wasn't very gay, I didn't mind
I wasn't a money man anyway
They killed a man for his giro today

Why would you pay
Why would you pay
To see me in a cage
Which the world calls the stage?

I know when the night has gone, all this time
Really gone, indeed
The eyes of the unwell and unwise
And they killed a man for his giro today

On the off chance that you're listening
I thought you might like to know I'm running out

I know when the night has gone
I will know I'm not the only one who'd gladly die
For what was wrong in the eyes of the cruel and unwise
And they killed a man for his giro today

Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh, oh-oh
