[Lyric] Lockdown Blues (Andrew Lovely)

I was shakin' in my boots
High off the fumes
Disinfecting everything
In a chemical cocoon

Flip the TV off
Every fear gets lost
Wake up the next morning
And you kick the cuffs back on

There's a whole world outside you
Prison guards all around you
Vying for control
When you put 'em on the payroll
They denied you your parole

County won't let up
Better trust your gut
Sirens sing a warning
When you choose love over luck
Just an idle threat
Muttered under breath
Flowers, empty promises
To scarе you half to death

There's a wholе world outside you
Prison guards all around you
Vying for control
When you put 'em on the payroll
They denied you your parole

Mama, please
Take this yoke off a' me
Freedom weighs so heavy on my mind!
Daddy, please
Take these chains off my feet
And teach me how to walk the painted line

There's a whole world outside me
Prison guards all around me
Vying for control
When I put 'em on the payroll
They denied me my parole
When I put 'em on the payroll
They denied me my parole
