Take the Reins

18, you think you're free
To be what you wanna be
Have a job or 2 or 3, 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?
Independence doesn't start when you leave home

Locked in, can't get out
Your cube is your new home
4 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!

    General Comment:You're missing the speaking part at the end.

    "Thought you could get away,

    No rules and regulations if you could just get awt from home

    But now you’re finding out, the sad reality

    you’re traped again but this time you’re on your own"

    General Comment:its about how, when you're a teen you want to be 18 so you can be free, but when you turn 18 you're not free like you thought you would be

    General Comment:Yaa, the end is missing:

    "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."

    :]

    General Comment:Help.

    Does anyone know what she says toward the end of the song when shes speaking? It's like "... 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....???? "

    General Comment:Someone becoming 18 and learning of the responsibilities of the world. Before this they never took ahold of any,and suddenly they're being swamped down, bills, jobs to pay the bills, pure hate of their job.
    The last verse shows that
    "locked in, can't get out.
    your cube is your new home." They work, but hate their job, but have to do it to live.
