Simon Says
Defying Destiny: Clawfinger's Anthem of Self-Determination
Lyrics
You say destiny decided what was meant to be
You believe fate determines what is meant to happen.
I say I decide myself what's too become of me
I assert that I have control over my own destiny.
Simon says there's not a chance we'll ever get along
Simon expresses that we will never find common ground.
And none of us say anything but we both think he's wrong
Both of us silently disagree with Simon's assertion.
You say we can't choose the path of life we walk upon
You claim we lack the ability to choose our life's path.
I say I already know which path I'm walking on
I affirm that I have already determined my life's path.
Simon says to both of us we're not allowed to move
Simon commands that neither of us can make a move.
And none of us say anything but we both disapprove
Both of us silently express disapproval of Simon's command.
Simon says
Repetition of Simon's commands, emphasizing his influence.
Simon says
-Simon says
-Simon says
-Simon says
-You say we can't change the world if it can't change itself
You argue that the world cannot change if it doesn't change itself.
I say I can't change the world before I change myself
I acknowledge that I must change myself before changing the world.
Simon says we're not allowed to change the world we see
Simon claims we are not permitted to change the world we perceive.
And none of us say anything but we both disagree
Both of us silently express disagreement with Simon's restriction.
Simon says
Repetition of Simon's commands, reinforcing his authority.
Simon says
-Simon says
-Simon says
-Simon says
