"For Want Of A Better World" lyrics

Step

Step back, step away
Kindly stay the fuck away from me
What I am is what I am
Let me live as I please, more than just a name
Number, pawn, puppet, fuck it
I'm a man, person, look, see, closer please, touch, feel
Flesh, yes real, like you I bleed, I hurt, I touch, I fuck, I need
I possess what you need, individuality, often heard of, rarely seen
Let me come clean

You can't take this away from me
You can't take this away from me
You can't take this away from me
You can't take this away!

Step back, keep away, keep yourself to yourself
Your opinion on a shelf, your presence isn't welcome, but felt
Never tasted life, just smelt. Folded rather than gamble
Deal with what was dealt. Bitterness felt.

Sucked into a circle of fools and tools and rules
Wanting all to conform to the norm and lose
Submit to fit, fuck that, suck this
Complacement like pigs in shit. Waist high and you still sit.

You can't take this away from me
You can't take this away from me
You can't take this away from me
You can't take this away!

You!
You!
You!
You!

Wide awake, I'm a step ahead of all of you
I cannot understand your narrow minded attitude
Step beside me, stand beside me fool
You'll always be a number
Always be another tool
Not me, not me, not me, not this boy
Never gonna bend, never gonna comply
Not me, not me, not me, not this boy
Step right down to this

Know, know that you are nobody, nobody, nothing to me
Brother, my ass, not fit to be, and never will be
Love thy sister, brother
Respect for one another
Nice dream, but where have you been?
Another planet it would seem
Come back down to earth, let me show you what I've seen
I hurt, I touch, I fuck, I need

I possess what you need
I possess what you need
I possess what you need
I possess what you need
I possess what you need!

You can't take this away from me
You can't take this away from me
You can't take this away from me
You can't take this away from me

You can't take this away from me
You can't take this away from me
You can't take this away from me
You can't take this away!
