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
