I don't wannna hear the noises on TV
I don't want the salesmen coming after me
I don't wanna live in my father's house no more
I don't want it faster, I don't want it free
I don't wanna show you what they've done to me
I don't wanna live in my father's house no more
I don't wanna choose black or blue
I don't wanna see what they've done to you
I don't wanna live in my father's house no more

Because the tide is high and it's rising still
And I don't wanna see it at my windowsill

I don't wanna give 'em my name and address
I don't wanna see what happens next
I don't wanna live in my father's house no more
I don't wanna live with my father's debt
You can't forgive what you can't forget
I don't wanna live in my father's house no more
I don't wanna fight in a holy war
I don't want the salesmen knocking at my door
I don't wanna live in America no more

Because the tide is high and it's rising still
And I don't wanna see it at my windowsill

I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
MTV, what have you done to me?
Save my soul, set me free
Set me free, what have you done to me?
I can't breathe, I can't see
World War III, when are you coming for me?
Been kicking up sparks, we set the flames free
The windows are locked now, so what'll it be?
A house on fire or a rising sea?

Why is the night so still? Why did I take the pill?
Because I don't wanna see it at my windowsill

I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
