I've got to get out of this place
before it gets me into my head.
I know I'm not a bad, bad man.
I just need a little help now and then.

You've got me under lock and key.
It makes no difference to me.
Been in the system for so many years, it ain't funny.
Through the revolving door to hell
and won't somebody, help me.

I know myself better than you think.
And I know I can't hang on the outside.
I'm not giving you a reason to release me.
See you soon after I fall again.

You've got me under lock and key.
It makes no difference to me.
Been in the system for so many years, it ain't funny.
Through the revolving door to hell
and won't somebody, help me.

I'll keep hangin' out
with my different personalities.
I had some problems in Cell Block C.
Now they've got me down in D-1.
I think they call it, "Solitary".

You've got me under lock and key.
It makes no difference to me.
Been in the system for so many years, it ain't funny.
Through the revolving door to hell
and won't somebody, help me.
