Lyrics
A Mind Of My Own
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.
Politician's fighting hard to win,
Getting a good position
So he won't have to lose again.
The battle's always on,
Working against disgrace,
He has to win you over.
Well it's always the case,
Ends up saving face.
Delegations, flying in,
Happiest relations,
Smiling faces, shaking hands.
The battle's always on,
Working against displacement.
They have to win them over,
If it's only a case
Of saving space.
No don't bother telling me,
I can see it for myself.
I was born with a mind of my own,
And I intend to keep it free.
Still the seasons come and go,
Bad influences pile up,
Like the dirty driven snow.
Turn off the news,
I really don't want to know.
If there was anywhere left to go,
Well I think I'd want to go,
'Cause I really don't like the show.
