Lyrics

[Verse 1]
This is not helping me at all
What you are doing here
In the name of God and love
It's the distribution of fear
Pyramids, healing wires, analysts with fame
I haven't got your degree
And I forgot your name
[Verse 2]
Pick me up and put me on the ground
Set me up and spin me all around
No, you are not the one
You are not the one
No, sir
[Verse 3]
This is not helping me at all
Where did we get this plan?
That you could give to me
What I might already have
Pyramids, healing wires, a musician's fame
I volunteered you my eyes
In place of facing me
[Verse 4]
Pick me up and put me on the ground
Set me up and spin me all around
No, you are not the one
You are not the one
Pick me up and put me on the ground
Set me up and spin me all around
You are not the one
You are not the one I wish to see
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 5]
Oh, Hitler in a robe of truth
My emptiness has built your altar
And I've worshipped myself in you forever
Until now
[Verse 6]
Pick me up
Set me up
Pick me up
Don't set me up
You are not the one, no, no
You are not the one I wish to see
(Pick me up)
I wish to see, oh
(Set me up)
I wish to see
(Pick me up)
Yeah, I wish to see
(Set me up)
We need love, not leaders
