I may not be into christianity
Judaism is cool but I wasn't born to the breed
Buddha is too zen
And Allah is too cruel
But baby talking new age-ism
Isn't really cool

You ain't living in the new age
You're living in a NEW CAGE

Tear down old illusions, put new ones in their place
That is no solution

Out of the frying pan and into the fire
Freed from legal slavery onto the funeral pyre
Maharishi's his-to-ry
They said he was a liar
But baby going new age isn't
Gonna take you higher

You ain't living in the new age
You're living in a NEW CAGE

The spirits might surround you, and hold you in your place
(But why not) let the World astound you?

Capitalistic hedonism's all we really need
Germany's united now so how 'bout you and me
Lenin is forgotten
Except out on the coast
But baby caught the new age-itis
Talking to a ghost

You ain't living in the new age
You're living in a NEW CAGE

Now you've built a NEW CAGE, to keep you in your place
Now you've got a NEW CAGE
