lyrics

Believe me, believe me when I say
That I was just like anyone
And still could be today

A child still, with so much left to learn
You’ll have to try to teach yourself
There’s nowhere else to turn

You might as well accept it now
The shit around you here
Take it away

Remember, before it grinds you down
There’s no place here for tenderness
So get out while you can

The never-changing quiet nights
The boredom of the day
Throw it away

And you can take your world away
Don’t need it any more
I’m going to leave it any day
Don’t need it any more

I found you, I don’t remember how
But brother I’m in trouble here
And Christ I need you now

You showed me
Called me by my name
To throw aside my heavy load
Or carry round this pain

The sound of thunder in my head
The whole world at my door
Take it away

And you can take your world away
Don’t need it any more
And I could leave it any day
Don’t need it any more

And all the hatred in my heart
Don’t need it any more
And every bitterness I had
Don’t need it any more

And all the envy that I felt
Don’t feel it any more
And all the nightmares in my life
Don’t dream them any more

Never never never never
Never never never ever
Ever ever ever
No I’m never going to need it any more
