I don't mind if they take it all away

I don't need it

I don't mind sitting in the dark

I'll watch the stars fall over the edge

I don't mind being without a light

To read my Herodotus

'Cause how Kroisos rose and how he fell

I've got it all figured out.

I don't mind if they take it all away

I don't need it

I don't mind sitting in the dark

I'll watch the stars fall over the edge

I dont' mind running out of fuel

To power up my radio

'Cause I've got a song playing in my head

All of the time

​

I won't wait 'till they get me

I've never liked them anyway

I was always suspicious

Of their kindless hearts

Of their endless greed.

They don't have anything at hand to scare me

I carry everything within

They've lost power over me

I'm no part of their equation no more.

​

And all those voices shouting in my head

They'll slowly fade to mute

All your commandments edged into my mind

By the day they'll become but lies

All your skyscrapers you've tried to lock me in

They wither lifeless beneath the skies

Stone by stone they fall

And with them all your futile labours

Weakness for traitors, uncanny neighbours.

​

If I could have chosen a place to stay

It would never have been here

If I could have chosen someone to be with

It would never have been you.
