Oh yeah they call me
the recluse
'Cause I don't go
outside for nothin'
no-one is gonna make
me leave this room
Oh no they can't
tell me nothin'
no way
you see
I'm being a fool
Yes so I don't care
about being cool
What's it to you?
If I just stay here
in this hole that
I've fallen into
oh yeah they call me
the recluse
'Cause I don't go
outside for nothin'
no-one is gonna make
me leave this room
Oh no they can't
tell me nothin'
no way
you see
I ain't thinkin' clear
Yes so I dunno
I'm feeling sorry
for myself
Who asked you
to interfere?
How would you really
know what is or isn't
good for my health?
Why don't you
leave me alone?
Oh I ain't hurtin' nobody
why you up
in my face?
Get up out my soul
Why can't you just
let me get through
my time this way?
oh yeah they call me
the recluse
'Cause I don't go
outside for nothin'
no-one is gonna make
me leave this room
Oh no they can't
tell me nothin'
no way
no way yeah
Can't tell me nothin'
They can't
tell me nothin'
They can't
tell me nothin'
Sitting here by myself
looking round at myself
thinking I don't wanna
go out there
I don't need no help
looking after myself
I've got everything
I need right here
I ain't trying to impress
anyone in this
cesspit jail
I just don't care
I ain't gotta smell fresh
for no woman so I'm
blessed not washing
my skin or my hair
They can call me a
recluse they ain't gonna
remove or cut me loose
from this place
I'm locked in hiding
Like a rocker won't move
'cause you know
I've gotten used to the
space that I'm occupying
There really ain't
anything out there
on the wing they'd
enjoy more than
seeing me crying
So I do it in my room
where none of these
goons can see me
though I know
they've been trying
I ain't cut out
for this s**t
I'm a coward I admit
I've never been
no big ting
The thought of killing
makes me sick
but I don't wanna be
no victim no way
not Striklin
So I just stay in my cell
like I'm bricked in
and hope that stops me
from getting kicked in
Even if it earns me
this nickname in prison
oh yeah they call me
the recluse
'Cause I don't go
outside for nothin'
no-one is gonna make
me leave this room
Oh no they can't
tell me nothin'
no way
oh yeah they call me
the recluse
'Cause I don't go
outside for nothin'
no-one is gonna make
me leave this room
Oh no they can't
tell me nothin'
