This Gmodern Cage we Glive in

Has a Dclue what they're Gtalking a Dbout
There's Gtwisted trends and psychic friends and Ctabloid UFOs
The wisest man with the Gbest laid plans might
Dstill say D7I don't Gknow
What do Dyou think? I say well....
They Cmust not be that different
The Dass and the Chole in the Gground
CThey often are mis Gtaken for Deach other I have found
Oh and Clife rewards the Gones who try un Dtil they
