Locked Out Lyrics

Well, I'm really sick and tired of my so-called friends

Keeping me in my straightjacket past

I'm so sick and tired of being forced

Into that same role I've been typecast

Oh, well, it may have been a while since you heard me sing

But that ain't really my thing

And I'm locked in locked out, left out in the cold

Everybody's expectations really getting old

Two good arms and two good legs

I might push back or run away

Locked in locked out, left out in the cold

Gonna keep on growing so I'm never growing old

I'll keep on until I break

Might look dumb, that's a chance I'll have to take

I've got a real sinking feeling that I don't fit in

And I'll never get the chance again

I could have been a winner if I'd just conformed

To the scripted little master plan

But I can't keep writing that same old song

Just so we can get along

Feeling locked in locked out, left out in the cold

Drowning in a sea of expectation and control

Two good arms and two good legs

I might push back or run away

Locked in lockdown, no matter how I try

Gonna keep on living every moment till I die

I'll keep on until I'm free

Might look dumb, that's a chance I'll have to take

Have to take

Oh, tell me all the reasons why

You can't give that to me

And I'll tell you all the reasons why

I can't look back, I just can't wait

The chance I'll have to take

Well, I really can't remember who I was before

And the reason I was doing this thing

You can't be yourself, then loyalty

Ain't nothing but a poisonous sting

And I can't look back or I'll turn into stone

And I'd rather be alone

Instead of locked in locked out, left out in the cold

Drowning in a sea of expectation and control

Two good arms and two good legs

I might push back or run away

Locked in lockdown, no matter how I try

Gonna keep on living every day till I die

I'll keep on until I break

Might look dumb, that's a chance I'll have to take

Have to take

Have to take

Have to take

Oh, have to take
