I found this at Lyrics World

Bullet With Butterfly Wings

Smashing Pumpkins
Album: Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness


The world is a vampire, sent to drain
Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
And what do I get, for my pain?
Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game

2-Even though I know--I suppose I'll show
All my cool and cold-like old job

1-Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage
Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage

Now I'm naked, nothing but an animal
But can you fake it, for just one more show?
And what do you want? I want to change
And what have you got?
When you feel the same
(rpt 2, 1)

3-Tell me I'm the only one, tell me there's no other one
Jesus was an only son

Tell me I'm the chosen one
Jesus was an only son for you
(rpt 1...3)

And I still believe that I cannot be saved...

The song is ... !!!! ... I CAN'T REMEMBER. Something about a bee?
WHAT IS THE NAME OF IT??? Auuuuggh.

Beth

WAIT! I got it. It's "Bullet with Butterfly Wings"
off of "Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness"
(butterfly ... bee ... same thing)

Right, and the lyrics are on:
http://www.smashing-pumpkins.net/discography/lyrics/bwbw.htm

I can't copy them without getting a bunch of leading spaces, which would
require a lot of formatting to clean it up, so I hope the link is good
enough. If not, ask again and I (or someone else) will post them for
you.

The song is called "Bullet With Butterfly Wings" (and that passage is
"Despite all my rage I'm still just a rat in a cage):

Bullet With Butterfly Wings

the world is a vampire, sent to drain
secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames
and what do i get, for my pain
betrayed desires, and a piece of the game
even though i know-i suppose i'll show
all my cool and cold-like old job
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
now i'm naked, nothing but an animal
but can you fake it, for just one more show
and what do you want, i want to change
and what have you got
when you feel the same
even though i know-i suppose i'll show
all my cool and cold-like old job
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
then someone will say what is lost can never be saved
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
tell me i'm the only one


tell me there's no other one

jesus was an only son
tell me i'm the chosen one
jesus was an only son for you
despite all my rage i am still just a rat in a cage
and i still believe that i cannot be saved
