Take The Reins

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
