Lock Down


Hey girl! Whatcha yellin' for?
I can't hear you through that thick door!
Do you really think they're gonna let you out
when all you do is stand there and shout?
You may as well chill, things will be fine.
I'm telling you, girl, we're tired of hearin' you whine.
You're gonna have to learn how to play the game,
or you'll just keep gettin' more of the same.
Don't matter want you want; you do as they say,
and just ing deal with it day after day.
It's a lot easier if you take things in stride.
Listen to me girl, 'cause I'm on your side.
'Cause we're all here in the same boat
and we all have to work to keep it afloat.
But getting pissed ain't the answer, that's a fact.
Yeah, laugh all you want girl, but look where you're at!
