I Don't Believe (It)
James Blunt · Other Songs - James Blunt
I don't believe in the morals they set.
Yes I believe I don't have to regret,
Whatever happens when we have met.
And can't you see that you are stuck,
In this poor world where life is luck.
And, no one really gives a damn,
What you want or who I am.
And, oh I think I've had enough,
Your attitude is really rough.
Stop getting high on all this shit,
You can't hide in the corner to escape,
from it.
Oh, I can't see why I should,
Carry on not understood.
By moralistic people who,
Don't believe in what I do.
You seem to think that you are free,
Living in democracy.
But the other people all around,
Will talk about you, and put you down.
And, oh I think I've had enough,
Their attitude is also rough.
Let's quit this moralistic crap,
Leave me alone, and get off my back.
Well, the image conscious who reject me,
Have their rep but they're not free.
Setting standards for a show,
But do they live life,
oh no.
They talk about being cool,
Stick like sheep, and play the rules.
You've heard their morals and you agree,
Stuck with them and not with me.
I don't believe in what you said.
I don't believe in promises.
But I can't believe you let me down.
Love and life are over now.
They're Over now, over now.
Over now.
I don't believe in what they say,
I don't believe in the morals they set.
Yes, I believe I don't have to regret,
Whatever happens when we have met.
And can't you see that you are stuck,
In this poor world where life is luck.
And, no one really gives a damn,
What you want or who I am.
And, oh I think I've had enough,
Your attitude is really rough.
Stop getting high on all this shit,
You can't hide in the corner to escape,
from it.
From it.
