Trapped within

Trapped within customs, not knowing what they truly mean
Trapped within tradition, without understanding
Trapped within the norms of society.
That hasn't got a clue where it's going

Trapped within the rat race
Trying to get the best out of life
Trapped within the traffic
Crawling to get to work and then back home

Trapped within the deadline
Work that has to be done
Trapped within expectations
You've got to be your best

Trapped within a system
That expects you to deliver
Trapped within the rules
That you cannot deny

Trapped within the wiles of the wily politicians
Who want to suck the life out of you
While pretending to be your best friend
Trapped within a rage, about the injustice of it all
Trapped within
A heart, a soul, a mind
Yearning for freedom
