You're looking good, living like you should,
The all-American dream,
You talk the walk, but do you walk the talk'
It's getting frayed around the seams,
Ooh, you're in control, got your hand on the wheel,
Made all the plans, still you don't understand the touch of madness that you feel,
Everything you do sure does matter,
Oh, there is no little sin,
Everything would be a whole lot better if you gave it all up to him.

Nailed down,
Get it nailed down,
Get it nailed down,
Stop the turn of the merry-go-round and get it nailed down,
Don't you know that's where freedom can be found'
Nailed down.

Hard to believe those little things put such a weight upon your heart,
You've seen them all before, they're coming back for more,
Hammer 'em down before they start,
Everything you do sure does matter, that's why he suffered all that pain,
He wants to make your life a whole lot better, that's the reason he came.

Nailed down,
Get it nailed down,
Get it nailed down,
Stop the turn of the merry-go-round and get it nailed down,
Don't you know that's where freedom can be found'

He wants to make your life a whole lot better, that's the reason he came.

Nailed down,
Get it nailed down,
Get it nailed down,
Stop the turn of the merry-go-round and get it nailed down,
Nailed down,
Get it nailed down,
Get it nailed down,
Stop the turn of the merry-go-round and get it nailed down,
Don't you know that's where freedom can be found'
Nailed down.

Ooh yeah,
Well say, start, start, stop, stop the turn of this merry-go-round, oh yeah,
Nailed down.
