Take The Reigns

18 you think you’re free
To be what you wanna be
Have a job or 2 or 3-
You’ll say you’re sorry
Don’t try to run or fight
Ask how or when or why
Who cares what wrong or right
It’s money that matters
Each day just like the next
We struggle on and on
In nightmares, but we’re still marching
Handcuffed to life again
Don’t try they’ll only push you down
What’s opportunity?
You’ve got what you’ve wanted now!
How long 'till I’m my own?
Independence doesn’t start when you leave home
Locked in, can’t get out
Your cube is your new home
4 walls; no windows, no doors
Handcuffed to life again
Don’t try they’ll only push you down
What’s opportunity?
You’ve got what you wanted now!
How long 'till I’m my own?
Independence doesn’t start when you leave home
You thought you could get away from rules and regulations
If you could just get away from home
But now you’re finding out the sad reality
You’re trapped again
But this time you’re on your own
How long 'till I’m my own?
Independence doesn’t start when you leave home
Handcuffed to life again
What’s opportunity?
You’ve got what you wanted now!
How long 'till I’m my own?
Independence doesn’t start when you leave home
How long 'till I’m my own?
Independence doesn’t start when you leave home
