I don't want to hear the noises on tv
I don't want the salesmen coming after me
I don't want to live in my father's house no more

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

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

Because the tide is high and it's rising still
And I don't want fear at my windowsill

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

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

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

Because the tide is high and it's rising still
And I don't want fear at my windowsill

I don't want to see it at my windowsill
Don't want to see it at my windowsill
Don't want to 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 sleep

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 rising sea?

why is the night so still? why did I take the pill?
Because I don't want to see it at my windowsill

I don't want to see it at my windowsill
I don't want to see it at my windowsill
I don't want to see it at my windowsill

I don't want to see it at my windowsill (I don't want to see it at my windowsill)
I don't want to see it at my windowsill (I don't want to see it at my windowsill)
I don't want to see it at my windowsill (I don't want to see it at my windowsill)

(I don't want to see it at my windowsill) I don't want to see it at my windowsill
(I don't want to see it at my windowsill) I don't want to see it at my windowsill
(I don't want to see it at my windowsill) I don't want to see it at my windowsill
