More
Black.Blue.Blind. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm not happy, I'm not free
Paycheck to paycheck, living for what?
Every night I get drunk to get sunk
I need action
Won't take no more, no more, no more, no more
It won't work, won't work no more
I knew what I had when I grew up
I know that it really sucked
Now I'm a slave to the same lies
If I don't get out I'm gonna die
I need action
Won't take no more, no more, no more, no more
It won't work, won't work no more
Control, control for who, for what?
I'm no robot, they can get fucked
Reactions, masochism, this can't last
I need to live, I need it now
I need action
Won't take no more, no more, no more, no more, no more, no more, no
