Let It All Be
The Melvins Lyrics

When did it begin?
When did this all start?

And will it ever end?
Will this ever stop?

The way you take the muscle from the song
How you take the strength from the music

And kinda swing it
And give it a twist

You lay it on
You put it out there

And I ain't one of your friends
And I'm not a part of your group

Losing all the grain
Losing all the substance

And now you say it
And now you're speaking

Now why would that be me?
Why would that be my fault?

And why would I agree
And why would I accept that?

To keep it in my head
To keep it stuck in my mind

And what you think is cold
And what you consider heartless

The nature of my soul
The essence of who I am

Sorry man
I'm sorry, but

I ain't gonna be told
I won't be controlled

Let it all be
Let everything be as it is

I wonder why
I wonder why this is happening

You put this on me
Why do you blame me for this?

I speak my mind
I say what I believe

Its sorta funny
It's a bit ironic

I'm violent with the hands in my head
My thoughts make me furious

They kind of move
They keep changing

But movin' gets me nowhere
But changing my mind doesn't help

Now you can all decide
Now it's up to you all

And you can tell your lies
And you can spread your falsehoods

But who you call your friends
But who you consider to be your allies

And what you think is cold
And what you believe is heartless

The nature of my soul
The essence of who I am

Sorry man
I'm sorry, but

I ain't gonna be told
I won't be controlled

Let it all be
Let everything be as it is

Tangle it in the ends
Get caught up in the details

Heart in hand
Full of emotion

Lookin' for the blood
Searching for revenge

Of the white man
Against white people

Lookin' for the day
Hoping for the moment

When I can be an Indian
When I can become part of the culture oppressed by white people

After all this time
Despite everything that's happened

I get my revenge
I finally get my payback

But I, I ain't no Indian
But I'm not actually Native American

I have to kill
I must cause harm

With what I can
With any means available

Dream of their fight,
Imagine their struggle

Dream of their death
Fantasize about their demise
