Lyrics

Trapped

[Verse 1: Kasim Sulton]

Brother John saw visions of God

So they put him in chains for acting too odd

As the crowd shouted, "Off with his head"

The priest said, "Have mercy let's burn him instead"

[Chorus: Todd Rundgren]

Trapped, trapped in a world that he never made

Trapped in a world that he never made

[Verse 2: Kasim Sulton]

I woke up with my head on the floor

In a windowless cell, a room full of doors

I got lost, now I'm so far behind

Took so much advice, forgot my own mind

[Chorus: Todd Rundgren]

Trapped, trapped in a world that I never made

Trapped in a world that I never made

Trapped in a world that I never made

Trapped in a world that I never made

[Guitar solo]

[Verse 3: Kasim Sulton, Todd Rundgren, Kasim Sulton and Todd Rundgren]

We can't be slowed down by a big bunch of lip

And nobody cares about your paranoid trip

You know death and the Devil sure got it easy today

Souls come so cheap some people give theirs away

You've got to break out, you've got to prove you're alive

What makes you think that the weak survive

And if you don't have the stomach for all this radical crap

Then have the guts to stand for something or you're gonna be trapped

[Chorus - Outro: Todd Rundgren]

Trapped in a world that you never made

Trapped in a world that you never made

Everybody's gonna wind up trapped in a world that you never made

Trapped in a world that you never made

Trapped
