I know they'll bury me
Before they hear the whole story
Even if they do
Well, I know they won't care

To chalk it up to a mistake
Or God forbid, they give me grace
Well, who in the hell
Do they think they are?

I'm the one who keeps it on the inside
Locked away from judgments wrong, oh
I'm the one who keeps it on the inside
So they'll leave me alone, leave me alone

Each and every revolution
Starts at least with one illusion
You and I can be the same
Of one small mind

Do this and don't do that
Which you think you can't take back
Well, who in the hell
Do you think you are?

I'm the one who keeps it on the inside
Locked away from judgments wrong, oh
I'm the one who keeps it on the inside
So they'll leave me alone, leave me alone

I know they'll bury me
I know they'll bury me
I know they'll bury me alive, oh

Even though I got conviction
Even though I got my pride
I know they'll bury me
They'll bury me alive

I'm the one who keeps it on the inside
Locked away from judgments wrong, oh
I'm the one who keeps it on the inside
So they'll leave me alone, leave me alone

I'm the one who keeps it on the inside
Locked away from judgments wrong, oh
I'm the one who keeps it on the inside
So they'll leave me alone, leave me alone
