All the ghosts in the schoolyard   Young rebels with no dreams   Dying of old age   At seventeen   Some blame their mothers   For this unforgiving world   Others point the finger   At the flag the wind unfurls   But I say      You are the lock you are the key   You are the master of your destiny   The devil's the dude who sells poison for pay   Don't give the devil the time of day   Don't you give him the room or and inch to play   Don't give the devil the time of day   Don't give the devil the time of day      There's a face in the mirror   You don't recognize   So you shatter the lights   'cause they sting your bloodshot eyes   You walk on with a stranger   Who rolls your soul up in his wad   You place your trust in him   Like you once placed it in god   Well I say      You are the lock you are the key   You are the master of your destiny   The devil's the dude who sells poison for pay   Don't give the devil the time of day   Don't you give him the room or and inch to play   Don't give the devil the time of day   Don't give the devil the time of day      Caught between the cyclone fence and a red brick wall   Yeah, you melt like chocolate in the sun   Then you see your angel walking with his high-tops on   And he hands you heaven hotter than a loaded gun      (the time of day)   Don't you give him   (the time of day)   Don't you give him   (the time of day)      You are the lock you are the key   You are the master of your destiny   The devil's the dude who sells poison for pay   Don't give the devil the time of day   Don't you give him the room or and inch to play   Don't give the devil the time of day   Don't give the devil the time of day      All the ghosts in the schoolyard   Young rebels with no dreams   Dying of old age   At seventeen   Well I say      You are the lock you are the key   You are the master of your destiny   The devil's the dude who sells poison for pay   Don't give the devil the time of day   Don't you give him the room or and inch to play   Don't give the devil the time of day   Don't give the devil the time of day
