They Don't Understand
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.
They don't understand no they don't understand
They don't wanna understand
When you smash a phone box
Or you break into a shop
They take you down the station
And they nick you for the lot
Everyone keeps telling me I'm gonna be free
We all know we'll never be free
They don't understand no they don't understand
They don't wanna understand
When I take a razor and I wanna take my life
I wanna take a knife and I wanna take my life
They don't understand no they don't understand
They don't wanna understand
