Take the Reigns

Eighteen, you think you're free To be what you wanna be Have a job or two or three, you'll say you're sorry Don't try to run or fight Ask how or when or why Who cares what's 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 wanted now! How long till I'm my own? (own) Independence doesn't start when you leave home Locked in, can't get out Your cube is your new home Four walls, no windows, no doors Hancuffed 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? (own) Independence doesn't start when you leave home 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? (own) Independence doesn't start when you leave home How long till I'm my own? (own) Independence doesn't start when you leave home
