They said they'd let me off the hook   If I renounced my ways, but I declined   So they locked me in a tower and said   They would not let me out again   Til I changed my mind   I told them "bring it on"; that I   Was not afraid, I made myself quite clear   And now I'm trying to be brave   And to bear it like a soldier   But I do not like it here      The doors are locked   (I've tried them all),   And no one answers when I call   So I'm just leaning back against the wall   Pretending things are fine      But that ain't really doing much   To help me keep my cool or calm me down   See I am slightly claustrophobic   And the instruments of torture   Resting in the corner   Make the room look so much smaller   Thought I was stronger then they thought   I thought I was, but now I ain't so sure   Selling out was not an option,   But when viewed from this position   It don't sound so bad no more      You know? It's kind of frightening   To find I'm inching towards surrendering   But man, at this point, I'll try anything   To buy my way outside      So,   PLEASE?   How's about another chance?   I've learned my lesson   I've seen the light      Bite your thumbs and disagree,   Say that I waved my flag to easily.   I do not care what you think of me.   Taihen yo, yametai
