Not for Me
Speed Kill hate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To live your life with moderation
I don't need to follow
That way I never wanted to be
Now you want to make me brainwashed
Force ped, not for me
Keep your propaganda
Don't need what's not for me
Won't be pressured to think
Like you or your beliefs
Hate me all you want to
Just because I'm being me
Showing independence
My individuality
There's no toleration
Denouncing your society
With determination
I will live for what is best for me
Don't need what's not for me
Won't be pressured to think
Like you or your beliefs
Hate to dominate, to violate
I feel the real need to hate
To dominate, to violate
I feel the real need to hate
To dominate, to violate
I feel the real need to hate
It's all for me
Cause me aggravation
White shirt, blue tie, 9 to 5
Each an imitation
Of someone who is deprived
Live in desparation
All the weak can not survive
Cause your own opression
Isolated from the world I'm free
Don't need what's not for me
Won't be pressured to think
Like you or your beliefs
Don't need what's not for me
Won't be pressured
With force fed rules that I hate
No, it's not for me
