I don't want it faster, I don't want it free 
I don't wanna show you what they done to me 
I don't wanna live in my father's house no more 

I don't wanna choose black or blue 
I don't wanna see what they done to you 
I don't wanna live in my father's house no more 

Because the tide is high 
And it's rising still 
And I don't wanna see it at my windowsill

I don't wanna give em my name and address 
I don't wanna see what happens next 
I don't wanna live in my father's house no more 

I don't wanna live with my father's debt 
You can't forgive what you can't forget 
I don't wanna live in my father's house no more 

I don't wanna fight in the holy war 
I don't want the salesmen knocking at my door 
I don't wanna live in America no more 

Because the tide is high 
And it's rising still 
And I don't wanna see it at my windowsill 

I don't wanna see it at my windowsill 
I don't wanna see it at my windowsill 
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 three, when are you coming for me? 
Been kicking up sparks to set the flames free 
The windows are locked now, so what'll it be? 
A house on fire or the rising sea? 

Why is the night so still? 
Why did I take the pill? 
Because I don't wanna see it at my windowsill

I don't wanna see it at my windowsill 
I don't wanna see it at my windowsill 
I don't wanna see it at my windowsill 

I don't wanna see it at my windowsill 
(I don't wanna see it at my windowsill) 
I don't wanna see it at my windowsill 
(I don't wanna see it at my windowsill) 
I don't wanna see it at my windowsill 
(I don't wanna see it at my windowsill) 

I don't wanna see it at my windowsill 
(I don't wanna see it at my windowsill) 
I don't wanna see it at my windowsill 
(I don't wanna see it at my windowsill) 
I don't wanna see it at my windowsill 
(I don't wanna see it at my windowsill)
