lyrics

When I was a farmer, I got tired of my dirty hands
When I was a leader, I forgot all about listening
So I became a writer, never had a page worth turning

What I must do is a shackle, and I rebel, I rebel
As soon as it’s on, I call it off
I sabotage myself

And I keep casting my line
Never leave it in long enough to get a bite
And I keep biding my time
Always finding that nothing’s ever quite right

I listened well and I listened long, still I missed that starting gun
Next thing you know, you’re just going with the flow, living life, trying to find a reason
Now if this rase is still to be won, I know I’m gonna have to run

What I must do is a shackle, and I rebel, I rebel
As soon as it’s on, I call it off
I sabotage myself

But I’ll keep singing these songs until
I’ve built up a tolerance
And I’m under no illusion
I know I’m not solving any problems

But it makes me feel better
Well enough to breathe
It makes me feel better
Well enough to breathe
And it’s such a relief
