|
I'm not going to give it up for free anymore |
|
& I don't really care if you label me a whore. |
|
Frayed at the edges, busted at the seams, |
|
I can walk with a song & sleep with my dreams. |
|
You can cover up your chains & call yourself free; |
|
It doesn't really matter - it's all the same to me. |
|
You're the new newest thing; we've seen it all before. |
|
In fact I've seen it many times & I'll see it many more. |
|
You know it won't last; you know it never does - |
|
But better be a has been than to be a never was. |
|
You can get out quick & clean or prolong the agony: |
|
Whichever you prefer - it's all the same to me. |
|
You worship the future like it's some kind of saint, |
|
But it's just like the past with a new coat of paint. |
|
You try to save a world that doesn't want to be saved |
|
& you scold it like a child when you think it's misbehaved. |
|
You can say what you want, or say what you see, |
|
Or you could say nothing - it's all the same to me. |
