Locked Inside |
| I’m locked inside |
| A land called foolish pride |
| Where the man is always right |
| He hates to talk but loves to fight |
| Is that all right? |
| On real cold days |
| He loans us lots of hate |
| But he says that we must pay |
| To take it all away |
| Is that okay? |
| But I’m asking you will you stay with me |
| In this land where we are free |
| And I know its rough and you’ve had enough |
| But one day we’ll be happy |
| And when I look into the future |
| I see danger in its eyes |
| Hearts of hatred rule the land |
| While love is left aside |
| Killing plagues the citizens |
| While music slowly dies |
| I get frightened, I, see I get frightened I… |
| Oh how, oh how I need you baby |
| To keep me from going crazy |
| I really need you baby, need you to stay |
| Oh how, oh how I love you baby |
| These people are so crazy |
| I really need you baby, need you to stay |
| She’s quick to fight for her man but not her rights |
| Even though its 3005 |
| When will we end this genocide? |
| And that’s not right |
| Her children cry |
| No food to eat and afraid as flies |
| The color black means it’s time to die |
| And nobody questions why |
| Cause they’re too scared to stop them man |
| But I’m asking you will you stay with me |
| In this land where we are free |
| And I know its rough and you’ve had enough |
| But one day we’ll be happy |
| Cause when I look into the future |
| I see danger in its eyes |
| Babies die before they’re born |
| And no one ever smiles |
| The writers and the artists, all are paid to tell us lies |
| To keep us locked inside, they keep us locked inside |
| Oh how, oh how I need you baby |
| To keep me from going crazy |
| I really need you baby, need you to stay |
| Oh how, oh how I love you baby |
| These people are so crazy |
| I really need you baby, need you to stay |
| I can make a change |
| I can start a fire |
| Lord make me love again |
| Fill me with desire |
| I can make a change |
| I can start a fire |
| Make me love again |
| Lord, thank You for desire |
| And when I look into your pretty eyes, I almost want to cry |
| I think about my life, and I don’t want to live a lie |
| How I need you, baby, I need you right by my side |
| I need you tonight, I need you tonight |
| Yeah! |
| How I need you baby |
| See I can’t let you go, I need you |
| On the other side |
| On the other side |
| I love you so and I’ll never let you go |
| On the other side! |
