Prince – Art Official Cage lyrics

Welcome home class
You come a long way
(You come a long way)

Come on let's (go)
Free people, come on let's (go)
Free the people
Free the people

I woke up in the city in a bit of a rage
Determined to free my mind from this art official cage
Dot dot dot my teachers thought from an early age

A place in heaven far off in the future

Come on let's (go)
Free people, come on let's (go)
(Art official)
(Art official cage)

Ghettos to the left of me, Mars to the right
Why does my kingdom come only where's at night
Why should I expect if I'm not willing to fight
A place in heaven somewhere in the future

Art official, art official
Art official cage

Louder than a bomb since the day of my birth
Got me second class when I got here first
Lovely score but how am I supposed to know what it's worth
Art official age in the future

Free the people, come on let's go
Starting from the top getting higher so
Never going back underwater, no
Brand new boogie without the hero
Sure Minneapolis get this, no
I'm going up lady liberty's dress and blow, blow, blow

Art Official, free the people
Art official, art official
Cage, cage, cage

Art official cage
Cage (we need you to tell us what you know)
Cage (we need you to tell us what you know)

Art official cage
Art official cage
Art official cage
Art official cage,
Cage, cage, cage, cage, cage, cage (art official cage)
