1.
I am a conscientious objector And I’m fed up with The sound of my own voice And I’m sure you are too But you have to understand That my life was a mess And it’s only starting to make sense I don’t trust myself enough yet To tell you the rest ‘Cause we were together But now we are not We were together And then I lost the plot I am still a child And I will still hide When I hear you scream

I don’t understand why I feel pain But I know it’s there I’m not sure if you can listen But I’ve been saying it for days I wish you would just go away I don’t understand your feelings But I know they’re there There, there. There, there Is all you can say ‘Cause you’re too far away I wish you would just go away It doesn’t take much effort To fight or to agree Be mindful of my feelings They always betray me I wish you would just go away I don’t know what else you expect from me A plate of frozen feelings (A dripping tap in the basement) All you do is take what I can give For as long as I live I wish you would just go away For as long as you live I wish you would just go away For as long as I have strength left I wish you just go away And that’s only the start of it You know...

It will all be over But we will never be all over the news This world was way too important for us It will all be over But we will never be all over the papers This world was way too impartial for us It will consume us consumers It will all be over We will never be all over the six o’clock news This world was way too important for us It will all be over
