Locked Up

Lyrics

I can't take the criticism
 I'm eaten up with cynicism
 All the colors in the prism entering my eyes
 Still can't change my mind
 I'm a stubborn goat getting older
 A cube of ice getting colder
 Frozen heart and frozen shoulders
 That is what I've got
 A sweetheart I am not
 Now I'll soften when it pays the bills
 I'll love you in exchange for thrills
 I'll surface 'cause withdrawal kills
 I can smell fresh blood from miles away
 I can't be locked up this way
 I can't be locked up this way
 I can't be locked up like this
 I can't be locked up this way
 I have been their slave but I'm tired of working
 I'm a jackhammer tired of jerking
 I'm a booty shaker tired of twerking
 You can laugh all you want
 Soon enough though I'll be gone
 I'm a dying fly on the wall
 I'm a teenage girl who just won't call
 I'm a deflated basketball
 No needle to be found
 And I just want to be round
 So I can roll, so I can bounce
 So I can roll out of this town
 I can't be locked up like this
 I can't be locked up like this
 I can't be locked up this way
 I can't be locked up like this
 Now I'm the worst ship that was ever built
 Started sinking soon as the champaign spilt
 All the dirty secrets in my quilt
 They won't come out in the wash
 Somebody help my gosh
 I'm a beating heart off the beating path
 The God of shame, feel my wrath
 Can my filthy soul take a bath
 In the light of you, in the light of truth
 In the light of you
 No I can't be locked up like this
 I can't be locked up like this
 I can't be locked up this way
 I can't be locked up like this
 I can't be locked up like this
 I can't be locked up like this
 I can't be locked up like this
 I can't be locked up like this
