Lock Me Up For Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Well I was walkin’ through some shops at the mall
A gold Versace watch was hangin’ up on the wall
And no, I didn’t have the money to ball
So I thought about takin’ it
I saw this movie playin’ up in my head
I walk outside and Jack a Mercedes-Benz
Go drivin’ down the 5 and even though it’s pretend
Maybe I’m a maniac
If it were illegal to have a evil in the mind
And they cut me open
Wonder: Would they be surprised?
Or are there other people that are equally inclined
Think about the heinous things I think about
Is it only me?
Is it unnatural to, to have these thoughts sometimes?
Am I alone, am I some type of criminal?
Oh, if they could read my mind
Would they lock me up for life?
Lock me up for life?
Oh, would they lock me up for life?
Lock me up for life?
There’s things I wouldn’t even say to my shrink
'Cause I’m ashamed of what the doctor would think
Like when I felt alone and hated my life
So I thought about takin’ it
I saw this movie playin’ up in my head
Next to my casket were some family and friends
And even now I know that’s not how it ends
There was no shakin’ it
If they forced a needle through a cortex in my brain
Wonder what they’d think, that maybe I had gone insane
Or are there other people that are equally deranged
And think about the heinous things I think about
Is it only me?
Is it unnatural to, to have these thoughts sometimes?
Am I alone, am I some type of criminal?
Oh, if they could read my mind
Would they lock me up for life?
Lock me up for life?
Oh, would they lock me up for life?
Lock me up for life?
I tell my mother that I love her
I’m not coming home from jail
I’m so sorry
I’m so sorry
And tell my father not to bother
Waste a dollar on my bill
I’m so sorry
I’m so sorry
Is it only me?
Is it unnatural to, to have these thoughts sometimes?
Am I alone, am I some type of criminal?
Oh, if they could read my mind
Would they lock me up for life?
Lock me up for life?
Oh, would they lock me up for life?
Lock me up for life?
