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 

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 

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
