lyrics

Don't need to tell us, don't need to preach,
Don't try to stall us, no lesson to teach,
Too late to say we're sorry, regrets won't win a fight,
The guard is late for changing, we haven't got all night,

And I don't need you to pull my strings,
And I don't need all your shiny things,
And I don't need all your dusty kings,
Fall in line man or leave the ring.

I'll slither down to the well,
And listen what it has to tell,
I'll carry poise like a lake,
And wait the coming year of the quake,

We share a mother, bet you disagree,
From a private jet plane, a little harder to see,
But people from all around, we breathe with the same lungs,
We'll take what's ours as given, when the song is sung,

And I don't need you to pull my strings,
And I don't need all your shiny things,
And I don't need all your dusty kings,
Fall in line man or leave the ring.

I'll slither down to the well,
And listen what it has to tell,
I'll carry poise like a lake,
And wait the coming year of the quake,
