This song was possibly written as a way for Catch 22, which were a small band that weren’t gaining much attraction at the time, to express that they didn’t need to be up there with the bigger bands at the time in order to still enjoy making music.
[Intro]
Two, three, four!
[Chorus]
I don't want to barge in on your secrecy (see)
Dependency (see), it means nothing to me
I don't want to hear about your problems
And I don't want to listen to your apathy (see)
You're not like me (see)
You mean nothing to me
All your cash doesn't make you any greener
I don't need anyone, I don't need anyone
I don't need anyone to tell me what to feel
I don't need anyone, I don't need anyone
I don't need anyone to hate the world with me
(Day in, day out) It's not that bad
(I worry and I worry) But you'll never have to worry again
(Day in, day out) It's not that bad
(I worry and I worry) But you'll never have to worry again
(Won't have to worry again)
Never be alone
I don't want to barge in on your secrecy (see)
Dependency (see), it means nothing to me
I don't want to hear about your problems
And I don't want to listen to your apathy (see)
You're not like me (see)
You mean nothing to me
All your cash doesn't make you any greener
I don't need anyone, I don't need anyone
I don't need anyone to tell me what to feel
I don't need anyone, I don't need anyone
I don't need anyone to hate the world with me
(Day in, day out) It's not that bad
(I worry and I worry) But you'll never have to worry again
(Day in, day out) It's not that bad
(I worry and I worry) But you'll never have to worry again
(Won't have to worry again)
Never be alone
[Bridge]
Alone in my room with a bucket full of phlegm
I don't need a music scene to tell me who I am
Should've got a warning
Should've came a year ago
Should I send her a birthday card?
My conscience tells me no
[Chorus]
I don't need anyone, I don't anyone
I don't need anyone to tell me what to feel
I don't need anyone, I don't anyone
I don't need anyone to hate the world with me
(Day in, day out) It's not that bad
(I worry and I worry) But you'll never have to worry again
(Day in, day out) It's not that bad
(I worry and I worry) But you'll never have to worry again
(Won't have to worry again)
Never be, never be
Never be alone
