I.....



never gonna follow your rules,

never gonna follow your ways,

never gonna follow your laws,

never gonna follow your paths,

never gonna do what you say,

never gonna do what you want,

never gonna do what you like,

never gonna do what you mean,

never gonna listen to you,

never gonna listen to what's true,

never gonna listen to sense,

never gonna listen to anything,



Alone.....



now i'm all alone, on my own,

struck out of everything I could have,

because I'm always right,

and your always wrong.

Scratch myself out of this pit,

the one I dug for myself,

you told me exactally what would happen,

you would think I'd have the sense to take advice.

Never thought I be down like this,

thought things would always go my way,

feeling fear I failed you and myself,

damn me for not listening to you.



Again.....



making the same mistakes over and over again,

beaten down by myself, now I have nowhere to turn,

no one grows up wanting to be a bum, a whore, a pusher,

but we've fell ourselves with our own damning hands.

Can't blaim God for what we've done,

Can't blaim you for what we've done,

Can't blaim society for what we've done,

Can't blaim no one else but ourselves.

I, alone, again,

so cold and alone,

stood seperate from what's right,

now stand seperate from what's good.
