Don´t wanna hear the noises on TV
Don´t want the salesmen coming after me
Don´t wanna live in my father´s house no more
Don´t want it faster, I don´t want it free
Don´t wanna show you what they done to me
Don´t wanna live in my father´s house no more
Don´t wanna choose black or blue
Don´t wanna see what they done to you
Don´t wanna live in my father´s house no more

Cause the tide is high
And it´s rising still
And I don´t wanna see it at my windowsill

Don´t wanna give ´em my name and address
Don´t wanna see what happens next
Don´t wanna live in my father´s house no more
Don´t wanna live with my father´s debt
You can´t forgive what you can´t forget
Don´t wanna live in my father´s house no more
Don´t wanna fight in a holy war
Don´t want the salesmen knocking at my door
I don´t wanna live in America no more

Cause the tide is high
And it´s rising still
And I don´t wanna see it at my windowsill

MTV, what have you done to me?
Save my soul, set me free!
Set me free! What have you done to me?
I can´t breathe! I can´t see!
World War III, when are you coming for me?
Been kicking up sparks, we set the flames free
The windows are locked now so what´ll it be?
A house on fire or a rising sea?

Why is the night so still?
Why did I take the pill?
Because I don´t wanna see it at my windowsill

Don´t wanna see it at my windowsill
Don´t wanna see it at my windowsill
Don´t wanna see it at my windowsill
