Songtexte Raised in Captivity - John Wetton

I was born in a dark room without a door
A tiny cage with a Black Widow on the floor
And things did not improve as I became a boy
Circumstance would leave a hunger to destroy

Spinning, sinning, losing, winning
Rising, falling, calling.

Ooh, should I be banished to the dark side for all time?
Ooh, am I to blame for what was done to me?
Ooh, is there a reason for just what I came to be?
Ooh, 'cause I was raised in captivity

When the fear had disappeared I found a way
Of getting worse and more detached from every day
So all excuses, alibis and self-defense
Came to nothing in the face of evidence

Spinning, sinning, losing, winning
Rising, falling, calling.

Ooh, should I be banished to the dark side for all time?
Ooh, am I to blame for what was done to me?
Ooh, is there a reason for just what I came to be?
Ooh, 'cause I was raised in captivity

Spinning, sinning, losing, winning
Rising, falling, calling.

Ooh, should I be banished to the dark side for all time?
Ooh, should I be banished to the dark side for all time?
Ooh, am I to blame for what was done to me?
Ooh, is there a reason for just what I came to be?
Ooh, 'cause I was raised in captivity

Spinning, sinning, losing, winning
'Cause I was raised in captivity
Rising, falling, calling.

Ooh, should I be banished to the dark side for all time?
Ooh, am I to blame for what was done to me?
Ooh, is there a reason for just what I came to be?
Rising, falling, calling.
Ooh, 'cause I was raised in captivity
Rising, falling, calling.
'Cause I was raised in captivity
