Verse:
G C Am
It's not worth anything more than this at all
G C Am
I'll live as I choose or I will not live at all
G C/G Am
So return to where you come from, return to where you dwell
G C Am
Because harassment's not my forte, but you do it very well
Chorus:
G C/G Am
But I'm free to decide, I'm free to decide,
G C Am
And I'm not so suicidal after all.
G C/G Am
I'm free to decide, I'm free to decide
G C Am
And I'm not so suicidal after all.
You must have nothing more with your time to do
There's a war in Russia and Sarajevo too
So to hell with what you're thinking
And to hell with your narrow mind
Your so distracted from the real things
You should leave your life behind
(chorus)
(Bridge: Same chords as verse, with some vocal wailing)
(chorus)
