Sometimes Lyrics
No.. no.. no.. no...
Nobody's got the right to decide
Where I'm going or what I'm gonna do
No, I don't want my life to be tied
To another made up book of rules
Sometimes...
Our lives are in danger
Sometimes...
We surrender to paper
What is the point of our freedom of speech
If we can never do what is right ?
I get annoyed when I see what I need
Is locked up for ever in a file...
Sometimes...
I feel like a stranger
Sometimes...
We surrender to paper
Some people think that we can bring
Some order to the world
Just through bureaucracy
Is that what we need ?
Too many rules... they are blocking me !
And I have heard that paperwork
Will suffocate the word
And that's the end of it
But we cannot quit
We trapped our freedom and we strangled it !
You think that you're someone, but you're just a number
Don't you try to fight...
'cause in the end
They'll get you down my friend
There's nothing left to defend
Don't try you won't stand a chance
I know they'll do it again...
Sometimes I wonder who makes the rules
And what in the world he's thinking while he does
Boy it's a shame 'cause there's too little use
Of brains in this this game... it's nuts !
Sometimes...
I feel like a stranger
Sometimes...
We surrender to paper
You wait and you wait and you wait and you wait
And you never really get what you need
They're playing their games and they're making you pay
But still you don't get what you need...
Sometimes...
Our lives are in danger
Sometimes...
We surrender to paper
Some people think that we can bring
Some order to the world
Just through bureaucracy
Is that what we need ?
Too many rules... they are blocking me !
And I have heard that paperwork
Will suffocate the word
And that's the end of it
But we cannot quit
We trapped our freedom and we strangled it !
You think that you're someone, but you're just a number
Don't you try to fight...
'cause in the end
They always win my friend
'cause the power's not in your hands
There's no chance so stop to pretend
'cause I know they'll do it again...
My friend...
They take you down in the end
And there is only one chance:
Just remember that nothings lasts forever after all...
