Lyrics

Well, it seems like I'm caught up in your trap again
And it seems like I'll be wearin' the same old chains
Good will conquer evil and the truth will set me free
And I know someday I'll find the key
And I know somewhere I will find the key
Well, it seems like I've been playin' your game way too long
And it seems the game I played has made you strong
But when the game is over, I won't walk out the loser
Yeah, I know that I'll walk out of here again
Yeah, I know someday I'll walk out of here again
But now I'm trapped, ooh-yeah
Trapped, ooh-yeah
Trapped, ooh-yeah
Trapped, ooh-yeah
Now it seems like I've been sleepin' in your bed too long
And it seems like you've been meanin' to do me harm
But I'll teach my eyes to see beyond these walls in front of me
And someday I'll walk out of here again
Yeah, I know someday I'll walk out of here again
But now I'm trapped, ooh-yeah
Trapped, ooh-yeah
Trapped, ooh-yeah
Trapped, ooh-yeah
Now it seems like I've been playin' your game way too long
And it seems the game I played has made you strong
Because I'm trapped, ooh-yeah
Trapped, ooh-yeah
Trapped, ooh-yeah
Trapped, yeah
I'm trapped, ooh-yeah
Trapped, ooh-yeah
Trapped, ooh-yeah
Trapped, ooh-yeah
I'm trapped
