I'll beat the rap for a self-made trap Get all tied up in endless crap Quicksand, I planned Pitfalls, I dig 'em all Self-made rope And self-made binds I'm all wrapped up In a sour grape vine A human web I've spun every thread Tight nets, I weave all I can get A rats maze wouldn't faze Brick walls, I'm enthralled Self-made traps, self-made snares Handicaps and wheelchairs Drown myself in rain Freeze myself in snow Help comes fast, pride goes slow Could be free if I choose Born to win, dying to lose Self-made twine Hand-made chains I'm all bound up and self-contained Jail cells, I build well Lions dens, I got a yen Land mines, I design Avalanche, I wouldn't blanch Self-made traps, self-made snares Handicaps and wheelchairs Drown myself in rain Freeze myself in snow Help comes fast, pride goes slow Could be free if I choose Born to win, dying to lose The warden comes to set me free I grip the bars, swallow up the key It's like serving time When there's none left On a fast train nowhere But we're not there yet The scenery moves The train stands still Dungeon dark I'll quench every spark A hangman's noose Never leave 'em loose Self-made traps, self-made locks Combinations I forgot For guards and gates I await I'm a natural born inmate Could be free if I choose Born to win, dyin' to lose Lust came fast, love left slow The die is cast, the word is no
