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 dont 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  its 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  its rising  still,
 and 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!
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, 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!
