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
