Gang of Four - Independence lyrics

Like you said when we crawled down from the trees

We're in transition

I don't want to remain on the edge

We must embrace the new conditions

I'm alright, I'm alright

Through it's a contradiction

It's enough but less than I imagined

I'll get used to this

A one roomed apartment

If I fall behind with the rent

I'll have to borrow from a close friend

I'm alright, I'm alright

Through it's a contradiction

It's enough but less than I imagined

You always promise more than you can deliver

Independence ain't dependence

When you said it gets so cold that we could freeze

I reconsidered

I did all I could to be saved

It looks like I made the wrong decision
