"No Gods No Masters" lyrics
"No Gods No Masters"
Be kind, beware
Be good, don't be scared
Nothing lasts and no one stays
The same forever, so accept the change
Where the wind blows, round and round in circles
Where the wind blows, round and round in circles
The future is mine just the same
No master or gods to obey
I'll make all the same mistakes
Save your prayers for yourself
'Cause they don't work and they don't help
The things we do, the things we don't
The things we love, the things we lost
Where the wind blows, round and round in circles
Where the wind blows, round and round in circles
The future is mine just the same
(Where the wind blows, round and round in circles)
No master or gods to obey
(Where the wind blows, round and round in circles)
I'll make all the same mistakes
(Where the wind blows, round and round in circles)
Over and over again
(Where the wind blows, round and round in circles)
Over and over again
(Where the wind blows, round and round in circles)
All our friends, all our lovers, all our babies
All our friends, all our lovers, all our babies
The future is mine just the same
(Where the wind blows, round and round in circles)
No master or gods to obey
(Where the wind blows, round and round in circles)
I'll make all the same mistakes
(Where the wind blows, round and round in circles)
Over and over again
(Where the wind blows, round and round in circles)
Over and over again
(Where the wind blows, round and round in circles)
You want what's mine, I want what's yours
I want what's mine that once was yours
You want what's mine, I want what's yours
I want what's mine that once was yours
Over and over again
(Where the wind blows, round and round in circles)
Over and over again
(Where the wind blows, round and round in circles)
Over and over, over and over
Over and over again
(Where the wind blows, round and round in circles)
The future is mine just the same
No master or gods to obey

"No Gods No Masters" is the title track from Garbage's eponymous studio album. The song was premiered on April 28, 2021, accompanied by a
music video whose description unveiled that Shirley Manson was inspired to write this song after visiting Santiago, Chile, where people were protesting human lives in 2020:
" ...the whole city was covered in graffiti, like all the old museums and palaces. And I was shocked. The beautiful people that I was with said, 'But why are you so shocked? We're protesting human lives and you're more shocked that property and buildings and monuments have been hurt here. And, in fact, human beings are being hurt, and this is what you must focus on.' That was like a slap in the face. [...] So, this song is about re-imagining our society for the future, for our children and not making the same mistakes over and over again and allowing greed to corrupt our thinking."
