Oh No
Marina and the Diamonds Lyrics

Don't do love, don't do friends
I am not interested in romantic love or platonic friendships.

I'm only after success
My main goal is achieving success.

Don't need a relationship
I do not require a romantic or platonic relationship.

I'll never soften my grip
I will always maintain control and power in any situation.

Don't want cash, don't want card
I am not interested in material possessions such as money or credit cards.

Want it fast, want it hard
I desire success quickly and with great intensity.

Don't need money, don't need fame
Material wealth and notoriety are not important to me.

I just want to make a change
I aspire to bring about significant improvements in the world.

I just wanna change, I just wanna change
I am passionate about seeing change occur in the world.

I know exactly what I want and who I wanna to be
I am entirely aware of my goals and the person I want to become.

I know exactly why I walk and talk like a machine
I am fully cognizant of my automatic, robotic behavior.

I'm now becoming my own self-fulfilled prophecy
I am bringing about my own desired outcome through my actions and behavior.

One track mind, one track heart
I am singularly focused on achieving my goals and nothing else.

If I fail, I'll fall apart
If I am not successful, I will not be able to cope with the failure.

Maybe it is all a test
I question whether my success and failures are part of a larger plan.

'Cause I feel like I'm the worst, so I always act like I'm the best
Despite feeling like a failure, I always project confidence and superiority.

If you are not very careful
If you are not vigilant and aware of your actions and possessions,

Your possessions will possess you
Your material possessions will control and consume you.

TV taught me how to feel
I have learned what emotions to feel from television and the media.

Now real life has no appeal
I find everyday life uninteresting after being exposed to the unrealistic world of TV.

It has no appeal, it has no appeal
Everyday life has become mundane and unfulfilling.

I'm gonna live, I'm gonna fly
I am determined to live life on my own terms and achieve great things.

I'm gonna fail, I'm gonna die
I am aware that failure and death are inevitabilities in life.

Oh, oh no, oh no, oh no, oh!
My behavior and goals may seem extreme and possibly even dangerous to others.
