The Anthem of Mr. Dark

Lyrics

I never have the time to do the nothing that I want to do
 I'm always rushing around being what other people want me to be
 Well, the fabric of my soul is frayed and falling apart at the seams
 I'm tied up and tied down by the strings of other people's dreams
 I'm starting to see that that isn't me
 And my freedom isn't free
 But all I really want is some room to breathe
 Someday, I'll learn to say no
 Find a way to lighten my load
 People take possession of the pieces of my weary heart
 I'll learn to let go, whoa-oh
 And learn to say no
 ♪
 I'm feeling like a lion lying down behind the bars of this cage
 Yea, the king of the beast is now the king of this enclosed space
 Wear and tear and worry, they've been drawing their lines on my face
 Oh yes, I feel a whole lot older than my chronological age, yeah
 I'm starting to see that that isn't me
 And my freedom isn't free
 Well, all I really want is some room to be me
 Someday, I'll learn to say no
 Find a way to lighten my load
 People take possession of the pieces of my weary heart
 I'll learn to let go, whoa-oh
 And learn to say no

 Give us your time and give us your money
 Just lay down your body, there's no sense in running
 Now cut off your hair and put on a tie
 Just do what you're told without wondering why
 Don't ask for a reason, no matter the season
 Sit down and comply, 'cause we don't want no free men
 We'll say what you are, decide what you're not
 You'll go, and you'll go, and you never will stop
 Someday I'll learn to say no
 Find a way to lighten my load
 People take possession of the pieces of my weary heart
 I'll learn to let go, whoa-oh
 And learn to say-
 Someday (give us your time and give us your money)
 (Just lay down your body, there's no sense in running) I'll learn to say no
 (Just cut off your hair and put on a tie)
 (And do what you're told without wondering why) hey, hey
 Find a way (don't ask for a reason, no matter the season)
 (Sit down and comply, 'cause we don't want no free men) to lighten my load
 (We'll say what you are, decide what you're not)
 (You'll go, and you'll go, and you never will-) ha!
 People take possession of the pieces of my weary heart
 (People take possession of my heart)
 (People take possession of my heart)
 I'll learn to let go, whoa-oh
 And learn to say no
 Oh-whoa, learn to say no
 Oh-whoa, yeah
 Learn to say no
