Lyrics

Not for You

Restless soul, enjoy your youth Like Muhammad, hits the truth Oh, can't escape from the common rule If you hate something, don't you do it too Too Small my table, sits just two Got so crowded, I can't make room Oh, where did they come from? Stormed my room And you dare say it belongs to you For you This is not for you This is not for you This is not for you Oh, never was for you You My friends call me Friends, they call me My friends call me All that's sacred, comes from youth Dedications, naive and true With no power, nothin' to do I still remember, why don't you? Don't you? This is not for you This is not for you This is not for you Oh, never was for you Fuck you This is not for you This is not for you This is not for you Oh, never was for you You
