The clocks keep on spinning
As the thoughts inside my head
They embrace these common feelings
And a knowledge not many have
It’s this freezing darkness
That fuels the fire inside my chest
The one I’ve tried to extinguish
Can no longer be suppressed
I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna grow older
Don’t wanna be like you - don’t wanna just sit there and shrug my shoulders
Before I have to go I will let them know
Yeah, I will never go I won’t fight for you
I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna grow colder
'Cause I already know I don’t wanna be your cartridge holder
Before I have to go I will let them know
Yeah, I will never go to fight, bleed and die for you
The day has come
To re-ignite what’s gone
Into the darkness of this night
To create our guiding lights
May a spark be the one
Who will cause that raging fire
Which will burn through night and dawn
Into our hearts to carry on
May the sun shine warm and bright
To find guidance in another night
I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna grow older
Don’t wanna be like you - don’t wanna just sit there and shrug my shoulders
Before I have to go I will let them know
Yeah, I will never go I won’t fight for you
I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna grow colder
'Cause I already know I don’t wanna be your cartridge holder
Before I have to go I will let them know
Yeah, I will never go to fight, bleed and die for you
From now, know that every border you cross, every purchase you make, every call you dial, every cell phone tower you pass, friend you keep, article you write, site you visit, subject line you type, and packet you route, is in the hands of a system whose reach is unlimited but whose safeguards are not.
I appreciate your concern for my safety, but I already know how this will end for me and I accept the risk. I ask only that you ensure this information makes it home to the public.
I’m not the one who carries the change. It’s the people. You know what? Let’s start off easy and say:
Fuck you - to the ones in power
Fuck you - to all forced hours
Fuck you - to mass surveillance
Fuck you - to conscious misstatements
I know bullets may hit me
Unknown and familiar to me
But if it’s my blood they have to shed
In colorful gardens under threat
Perhaps some fading flower then
Would come to life and bloom again
Don’t mourn, organize
Show your colors, start to rise!
I am not the first one and I won’t be the last
Call me hero, call me traitor but don’t try to skew the present or the past
I hope my story won’t bury the ones who are still alive
I hope it won’t be just a tool to cover up more secrets and more lies
I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna grow older
Don’t wanna be like you – don’t wanna just sit there and shrug my shoulders
Before I have to go I will let them know
Yeah, I will never go I won’t fight for you
I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna grow colder
'Cause I already know I don’t wanna be your cartridge holder
Before I have to go I will let them know
Yeah, I will never go to fight, bleed and die for you
I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna grow older
'Cause I already know I don’t wanna be your cartridge holder
Before I have to go I will let them know
Yeah, I will never go I won’t die because of you again!
