When the dreamers perspire, cross a line
Border patrollers, hold you up for good
And what do I get, for my time?
Betrayed desires, for a piece of the pie
Even though I know, it is worse back home
All my hopes and dreams, broken toys
In spite of my age I am still just a kid in a cage
In spite of my age I am still just a kid in a cage
Families they break, childhood lost can never be saved
In spite of my age I am still just a kid in a cage
Now I'm shaken, treated like an animal
But can you fake news, or is it all for show?
And what do I want? Just to live free
And what have I got, don’t you want the same?
Even though I know, it is worse back home
All my hopes and dreams, broken toys
In spite of my age I am still just a kid in a cage
In spite of my age I am still just a kid in a cage
Families they break, childhood lost can never be saved
In spite of my age I am still just a kid in a cage
Tell me I'm the foreign one
Tell me there's no better home
America’s got no room, yeah.
Tell me you’re the welcome one
America’s got no room for me
In spite of my age I am still just a kid in a cage
In spite of my age I am still just a kid in a cage
Families they break, childhood lost can never be saved
In spite of my age I am still just a kid in a cage
In spite of my age I am still just a kid in a-
In spite of my age I am still just a kid in a-
In spite of my age I am still just a kid in a cage
Tell me I'm the foreign one
Tell me there's no better home
America’s got no room for me
And I am not free and I can’t understand
And I am not free and I can’t understand
And I am not free and I can’t understand
And I am not free and I can’t understand

I saw a meme photo today. And words it said on it, spoke of wrongs. So it took the line and fit it into a Smashing Pumpkins song. The result is an unfunny parody of Bullet with Butterfly Wings.
