Song Lyrics

No matter how I live my life
No matter which game I try to play
Their dark shadows smother my soul
Their eyes burning holes in my back

This is right, that is wrong, follow the rules
You won't fight, not for long, they'll make you fall
I have no answers, only questions for these people
I don't need guidance
I just want to keep my open mind

They patronise and vomit their rules
Leaving me with a storm in my brain
I have to solve this puzzle myself
With their guns softly tickling my neck
Can't they respect my decision
To interpret things my own way
And get out of my life forever
Just get out of my life

This is right, that is wrong, follow the rules
You won't fight, not for long, they'll make you fall
I have no answers, only questions for these people
I don't need guidance
I just want to keep my open mind

Just because I play by different rules
Doesn't mean my way is wrong
Now you know the problem
You know why I wrote this song
