Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I don't want no Jesus freak to tell me what it's all about
No black magician telling me to guess my soul out
I don't believe in violence, I don't even believe in peace
I've opened the door now, my mind is released
[Verse 2]
Well, I don't want no preacher telling me about the God in the sky
No, I don't want no one to tell me where I'm gonna go when I die
I wanna live my life, I don't want people telling me what to do
I just believe in myself, 'cause no one else is true
[Verse 3]
Let's see her go crazy now, come on
[Verse 4]
Every day just comes and goes
Life is one big overdose
People try to rule the nation
And I can't see through their frustration
[Verse 5]
People riding their real pace
Keep on running their rat race
The ante is risen once a week
In their world of make-believe
[Verse 6]
So believe what I tell you, it's the only way to fight in the end
Just believe in yourself, you know you really shouldn't have to pretend
Don't let those empty people try and interfere with your mind
Just live your life and leave them all behind
[Verse 7]
So, it's the final show
And I gotta tell you something, man
What a journey we all had up here, man
It's fucking amazing
We, we started in 1968, and it's now 2017
I don't fucking believe that shit, man
But you know what?
We would not survive if it wasn't for the fanbase
If you're a veteran fan, great
If you're new, welcome
But you know, I can't tell you enough
How grateful we are up here of your support
Thank you very much
You're fucking wonderful
