Song: Locked Inside
Album: The ArchAndroid
Bmaj7
I'm locked inside
C#m D#m
A land called foolish pride
Fm Bmaj7
Where the man is always right
C#m D#m
He hates to talk but loves to fight
Fm
Is that all right?
Bmaj7
On real cold days
C#m D#m
He loans us lots of hate
Fm Bmaj7
But he says that we must pay
C#m D#m
To take it all away
Fm
Is that ok?
Bmaj7 C#m
But I'm asking you will you stay with me
D#m Fm
In this land where we are free
Bmaj7 C#m
And I know its rough and you've had enough
D#m Fm
But one day we'll be happy
Bridge:
C#sus4 F#maj7
When I look into the future I see danger in its eyes
Dmaj7 Amaj7
Hearts of hatred rule the land While others left outside
C Gmaj7
Killing, bleeding citizen while music slowly dies
E D E D
And I get frightened I, see I get frightened I
Chorus:
Bmja7 C#m
Oh how, oh how I need you baby
D#m
You keep me from going crazy
Fm
I really need you baby, need you to stay
Bmja7 C#m
Oh how, oh how I love you baby
D#m
These people are so crazy
Fm
I really need you baby, need you to stay
Bmaj7
She always fights
C#m D#m
For her man but not her rights
Fm Bmaj7
Even though it's 3005
C#m D#m
When will we end this genocide?
Fm
And that's not right
Bmaj7
Her children cry
C#m D#m
No food to eat and afraid as flies
Fm Bmaj7
The color black means its time to die
C#m D#m
And nobody questions why
Fm
Cause they're too scared to stop them now
Bmaj7 C#m
But I'm asking you will you stay with me
D#m Fm
In this land where we are free
Bmaj7 C#m
And I know its rough and you've had enough
D#m Fm
But one day we'll be happy
C#sus4 F#maj7
When I look into the future I see danger in its eyes
Dmaj7 Amaj7
Babies die before they're born and no one ever smiles
C Gmaj7
The writers and the artists, all are paid to tell us lies
E D E D
To keep us locked inside, they keep us locked inside
Chorus
Bmaj7 C#m
I can make a change
D#m Fm
I can start a fire
B C#m
Lord, make me love again
D#m Fm
Father, fill me with desire
Bmaj7 C#m
I can make a change
D#m Fm
I can start a fire
B C#m
Lord, make me love again
D#m Fm
Father, fill me with desire
C#sus4 F#maj7
