I Don'T Want It

You've got your...guns...
You've got your...war...
But I don't want it...
All it brings is death...
You've got your...god...
You've got your...book...
But I don't want any part of it...
He was never there before...
You've got your...work...
You've got your...jobs...
But I don't want them...
I don't want to support the system...
You've got your...power...
You've got your...responsibility...
But I don't want it...
Power is misused...
You've got your...money...
You've got your...possessions...
But I don't want them...
I don't need to worship things...
You've got your...protection...
You've got your...laws...
But I don't need them...
They've screwed me over...
I don't want any part of it...
I don't need any of it...
We never needed it before...
Why do we need it now?...
