when everyday begins in yesterday
when every light around you shines
you are the lover of a hundred others
so don´t tell me what to do

retreat resist relent redemption
be careful not to cut your hair
be sorry for all your sins and all their mothers
but don´t tell me what to do

i am forever trying to defend
i lost my childhood qualities when i was ten
don´t quite recall when it began
ooh i can´t remember such a drain

believe the truth before you breathe it
beloved sometime before the truth
your pathway forward is an exit dooray
so don´t tell me what to do

i am forever trying to defend
i lost my childhood qualities when i was ten
don´t quite recall when it began
ooh i can´t remember such a drain
