The Anthem of Mr. Dark

[00:19.58] I never have the time to do the nothing that I want to do
[00:26.79] I'm always rushing around being what other people want me to be
[00:34.30] Well, the fabric of my soul is frayed and falling apart at the seams
[00:42.11] I'm tied up and tied down by the strings of other people's dreams
[00:49.22] I'm starting to see that that isn't me
[00:53.63] And my freedom isn't free
[00:57.91] But all I really want is some room to breathe
[01:03.90] Someday, I'll learn to say no
[01:11.46] Find a way to lighten my load
[01:19.16] People take possession of the pieces of my weary heart
[01:25.75] I'll learn to let go, whoa-oh
[01:29.42] And learn to say no
[01:32.18]
[01:45.97] I'm feeling like a lion lying down behind the bars of this cage
[01:53.01] Yea, the king of the beast is now the king of this enclosed space
[02:01.43] Wear and tear and worry, they've been drawing their lines on my face
[02:06.74] Oh yes, I feel a whole lot older than my chronological age, yeah
[02:15.65] I'm starting to see that that isn't me
[02:19.91] And my freedom isn't free
[02:24.35] Well, all I really want is some room to be me
[02:30.29] Someday, I'll learn to say no
[02:37.74] Find a way to lighten my load
[02:45.66] People take possession of the pieces of my weary heart
[02:52.16] I'll learn to let go, whoa-oh
[02:55.99] And learn to say no
[02:58.61]
[03:04.82] Give us your time and give us your money
[03:06.47] Just lay down your body, there's no sense in running
[03:08.37] Now cut off your hair and put on a tie
[03:10.46] Just do what you're told without wondering why
[03:12.36] Don't ask for a reason, no matter the season
[03:14.10] Sit down and comply, 'cause we don't want no free men
[03:16.18] We'll say what you are, decide what you're not
[03:17.93] You'll go, and you'll go, and you never will stop
[03:21.51] Someday I'll learn to say no
[03:29.17] Find a way to lighten my load
[03:36.95] People take possession of the pieces of my weary heart
[03:43.52] I'll learn to let go, whoa-oh
[03:47.30] And learn to say-
[03:48.46] Someday (give us your time and give us your money)
[03:50.12] (Just lay down your body, there's no sense in running) I'll learn to say no
[03:52.18] (Just cut off your hair and put on a tie)
[03:54.02] (And do what you're told without wondering why) hey, hey
[03:56.06] Find a way (don't ask for a reason, no matter the season)
[03:57.98] (Sit down and comply, 'cause we don't want no free men) to lighten my load
[03:59.90] (We'll say what you are, decide what you're not)
[04:01.77] (You'll go, and you'll go, and you never will-) ha!
[04:03.80] People take possession of the pieces of my weary heart
[04:05.74] (People take possession of my heart)
[04:07.61] (People take possession of my heart)
[04:10.41] I'll learn to let go, whoa-oh
[04:14.29] And learn to say no
[04:19.91] Oh-whoa, learn to say no
[04:23.35] Oh-whoa, yeah
[04:29.65] Learn to say no
[04:34.25]
