[Verse 1]
I can't take the criticism
I'm heating up with cynicism
All the colors in the prism entering my eyes
Still can't change my mind

[Verse 2]
I'm a stubborn goat getting older
A cube of ice getting colder
A frozen heart and frozen shoulders, that is what I've got
A sweetheart I am not

[Verse 3]
Now I'll soften when it pays the bills
I'll love you in exchange for thrills
Our service calls, withdrawal will kill
I can smell fresh blood from miles away

[Chorus]
I can't be locked up this way, I can't be locked up this way
I can't be locked up like this, oh, no, I can't be locked up this way

[Verse 3]
Now I have been their slave but I'm tired of workin'
A jackhammer tired of jerking
I'm a booty-shaker tired of twerking, you can laugh all you want
Soon enough, though, I'll be gone
