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?
Whoa
Independence doesn't start when you leave home.
Whoa

Locked in, can't get out
Your cube is your new home
4 walls, no windows, no doors
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?
Whoa
Independence doesn't start when you leave home.
Whoa

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
Trapped inside here on your own!

How long till I'm my own?
Whoa
Independence doesn't start when you leave home.
Whoa
How long till I'm my own?
Whoa
Independence doesn't start when you leave home.
Whoa
Whoa
