Before you try to criticise someone, Try to understand where they're coming from Before you make a fool of yourself, Take a step back, take a look at yourself What are you hoping to achieve? Make me fall down to my knees? Make me cry out in pain? Well I won't do that, oh what a shame. I'm not gonna live just for you I'm not gonna do what you tell me to I'm gonna be my own free man I won't change for you, can't you understand Before you try to criticise someone, Try to understand where they're coming from Before you make a fool of yourself, Take a step back, take a look at yourself Before you try to criticise someone, Try to understand where they're coming from Before you make a fool of yourself, Take a step back, take a look at yourself

Street's like a jungle So call the police Following the herd Down to Greece On holiday Love in the 90's Is paranoid On sunny beaches Take your chances looking for GIRLS WHO WANT BOYS WHO LIKE BOYS TO BE GIRLS WHO DO BOYS LIKE THEY'RE GIRLS WHO DO GIRLS LIKE THEY'RE BOYS ALWAYS SHOULD BE SOMEONE YOU REALLY LOVE Avoiding all work Because there's none available Like battery thinkers Count your thoughts on 1 2 3 4 5 fingers Nothing is wasted Only reproduced Get nasty blisters Du bist sehr schon But we haven't been introduced

The poison our minds, and steal our thoughts We are theirs, and there's nought we can do, So sit back, relax, pull up a seat We'll just have to sit this thing through Fight for your rights, stand up my friends You've gotta help yourself to be free Fight for your rights, make oppression end, And claim your own liberty Laissez-faire and graces and airs, And thinking you're above it all Gets you nowhere - we all stand as one And together we stay, or we fall Fight for your rights, stand up my friends You've gotta help yourself to be free Fight for your rights, make oppression end, And claim your own liberty Fight for your rights, stand up my friends You've gotta help yourself to be free Fight for your rights, make oppression end, And claim your own liberty

All these analogue hipsters are just too entertaining With their badly composed, faux-Polaroid daydreams When your efforts are dull, and ideas clichéd Art school aspirations couldn't be further away Your cry for help's just a Facebook post And with those spelling mistakes it reads more like a bad joke You've a superficial boyfriend, and you're afraid to admit it But you only feel close when you're touching his...

I, can't be sure But I think I heard you, crawl through the door You, didn't say a word And I think you tried to go to bed but instead, you went to floor You'd been out drinking with the other boys again Telling them "No, we are only friends" Making out and making noise Oh stop pretending, That this isn't really ending And I'll stop resenting you, When you stop resenting me Oh oh oh! I, waited up late Maybe, a bit too late Until you, finally came in Where do I end, and where do you begin? You'd been out partying with guys I've never met Drinking beer, and smoking cigarettes Killing brain cells, and killing me Oh stop pretending, That this isn't really ending And I'll stop resenting you, When you stop resenting me Oh stop pretending That this game is never-ending And I'll stop resenting you When you stop resenting Stop resenting Stop resenting me
