Lyrics

Under the Sun

[Verse 1]

Well, I don't want no Jesus freak to tell me what it's all about

No black magician telling me to cast my soul out

Don't believe in violence, I don't even believe in peace

I've opened the door, now my mind's been released

[Verse 2]

Well, I don't want no preacher telling me about the god in the sky

No, I don't want no one to tell me where I'm gonna go when I die

I wanna live my life, I don't want people telling me what to do

I just believe in myself 'cause no one else is true

[Bridge: "Every Day Comes and Goes"]

Every day just comes and goes

Life is one long overdose

People try to rule the nation

I just see through their frustration

People hiding their real face

Each one running their rat race

Behind each flower there grows a weed

In their world of make-believe

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]

So believe what I tell you, it's the only way to fight in the end

Just believe in yourself, you know you really shouldn't have to pretend

Don't let those empty people try and interfere with your mind

Just live your life and leave them all behind

[Instrumental Outro]
