Not What I Want Lyrics by Yves Klein Blue

Draw Attention to Themselves

0

There's a fork in every road
Where you see what's required and find you admire it -
Or, else you're not that way minded…it makes no sense to persevere
And though it may be inaccurate, well…
On the facts of the matter I'd suspect it's the latter
There's only one thing that matters -
It just to sever the necks of self important clever dicks
"That's just not what I wanna do! That's not what I want at all!"
Oh there's a part of me somewhere
That thinks that I could have some without giving it all away
If I turn out sad and lonely, you'll know I got it all wrong -
But as long as this wish and the world coexist I'll go on
The institution requires
That every mind can be just what it desires and that
Every mind will desire much the same thing
And to use the vernacular -
Well I've had a fair crack and I'm thoroughly shat!
I guess there's only one course of action…
It's just to sever the necks of self important clever dicks
"That's just not what I wanna do! That's not what I want at all!"
My friend, I knew you so well once -
How did they let you forget that you're not like the rest of them?
And they'll say the same thing about me, oh but -
They're assholes! What would they know?
They won't be grinning when they see how far we can go -
So lets give them a show!
We'll go on…(ex-cet-er-a)
(cheesy key change…you know you love it.)
"That's just not what I wanna do! That's not what I want at all!"
Oh there's a place for us out there -
Where we can have it all without selling our souls!
And just as long as we all pretend that's true -
That's enough for me to go on
'Cos I got a feeling it's gonna pay off before long-
So come on, come on
