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! |
