Lyrics for Windowsill

I don't wannna hear the noises on TV I don't want the salesmen coming after me I don't wanna live in my father's house no more I don't want it faster, I don't want it free I don't wanna show you what they done to me I don't wanna live in my father's house no more I don't wanna choose black or blue I don't wanna see what they done to you I don't wanna live in my father's house no more Because the tide is high And it's rising still And I don't wanna see it at my windowsill I don't wanna give 'em my name and address I don't wanna see what happens next I don't wanna live in my father's house no more I don't wanna live with my father's debt You can't forgive what you can't forget I don't wanna live in my father's house no more I don't wanna fight in a holy war I don't want the salesmen knocking at my door I don't wanna live in America no more Because the tide is high And it's rising still And I don't wanna see it at my windowsill I don't wanna see it at my windowsill I don't wanna see it at my windowsill I don't wanna see it at my windowsill MTV, what have you done to me? Save my soul, set me free Set me free, what have you done to me? I can't breathe, I can't see World War III, when are you coming for me? Been kicking up sparks, we set the flames free The windows are locked now, so what'll it be? A house on fire or a rising sea? Why is the night so still? Why did I take the pill? Because I don't wanna see it at my windowsill I don't wanna see it at my windowsill I don't wanna see it at my windowsill I don't wanna see it at my windowsill I don't wanna see it at my windowsill I don't wanna see it at my windowsill I don't wanna see it at my windowsill I don't wanna see it at my windowsill I don't wanna see it at my windowsill I don't wanna see it at my windowsill
