Lyrics
Commentators
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don't want to be revolutionary
No, I'm just looking for the sweetest melody
If I overstay my welcome, I will take my things and leave
'Cause I'm not trying to be revolutionary
What gave you the impression that your opinion means anything to anyone?
What gave you the right to bare arms against me; against us?
You're nothing but a bunch of amateur commentators
Who live your lives hiding behind a wall of insecurities
I don't want to be revolutionary
No, I'm just looking for the sweetest melody
If I overstay my welcome, I will take my things and leave
'Cause I'm not trying to be revolutionary
Imagine it's already broken as you hold it in your hand
Think of all the work you're doing, this work that you can only understand
Suppose it's already faded as it drapes across your back
Believe in all you have that's wonderful instead of everything that you lack
I don't want to be revolutionary
No, I'm just looking for the sweetest melody
If I overstay my welcome, I will take my things and leave
'Cause I'm not trying to be revolutionary
