Rusty Old Cage (Neil Cotton)

My teachers were right

Knowledge is power

I’m losing my grip

On my ivory tower

The years have opened

My treasure of truths

The creepers have stolen

What I learned in my youth

My steel trap mind is a rusty old cage

Age has created a sieve from my brain

My facts were like cash safe in a vault

Father time sucks I need him to stop

The old is leaving the new won’t stay

My steel trap mind is a rusty old cage

I knew car engines

Like my friends names

Some Dick changed the parts

Put ‘em in a new place

Once a carburetor

A computer's there

Controls some injector

Blending fuel with air

My steel trap mind is a rusty old cage

Age has created a sieve from my brain

My facts were like cash safe in a vault

Father time sucks  I need him to stop

The old is leaving the new won’t stay

My steel trap mind is a rusty old cage

There are still a few gems inside to access

Just takes a short while to educate my guess

My steel trap mind is a rusty old cage

Age has created a sieve from my brain

My facts were like cash safe in a vault

Father time sucks  I need him to stop

The old is leaving the new won’t stay

My steel trap mind is a rusty old cage

The old is leaving the new won’t stay

My steel trap mind is a rusty old cage
