Lyrics

I don't want no peace of mind anyway
And I don't want the keys to Mandalay
I don't want no symphony, no infamy, no empathy
And I don't want no canopy, no vanity, nobility
I just long to be
In your sweet company

I see it all comes down to give and take
If something doesn't budge soon there's gonna be a big earthquake
Now I don't mind making the sacrifice
To activize the last device
I think that it is possible
The bridge ahead is crossable
If we just lift up our eyes
From the floorboard to the skies
I just want to be
In your sweet company

I don't know if you should leave or stay
But I don't think we can carry on this way
Now I don't want no Vietnam, no Kingdom Come, no Will be done
And I don't want San Salvador, no Rambo war, can't stand no more
I just want to see
The real enemy
And I just want to be
In your sweet company

And I don't want no peace of mind anyway
And I don't want the keys to Mandalay
Now I don't mind making the sacrifice
To activize the last device
I think that it is possible
The bridge ahead is crossable
Now I don't want no Vietnam, no Kingdom Come, no Will be done
And I don't want San Salvador, no Rambo war, can't stand no more
And I just long to be
In your sweet company
