Discover the story of the song > Lock Me Up – Alice Cooper

The protagonist is being accused of being cruel to people's minds and he admits that he is guilty. He doesn't want to be clean or nice, he wants to be rough and mean. He wants to be in control and be the center of attention. He doesn't care if people don't like it, they can try to stop him or lock him up, but he won't change his mind. He wants to be loud, he wants to make a big impression and have people write about him in the newspaper. Again, if people don't like it, they can try to stop him, but he won't stop being who he is.
