THE ARCADE FIRE - Windowsill lyrics

Don't wanna hear the noises on TV

Don't want the salesmen coming after me

Don't wanna live in my father's house no more

Don't want it faster, I don't want it free

Don't wanna show you what they done to me

Don't wanna live in my father's house no more

Don't wanna choose black or blue

Don't wanna see what they done to you

Don't wanna live in my father's house no more

Cause the tide is high

And it's rising still

And I don't wanna see it at my windowsill

Don't wanna give 'em my name and address

Don't wanna see what happens next

Don't wanna live in my father's house no more

Don't wanna live with my father's debt

You can't forgive what you can't forget

Don't wanna live in my father's house no more

Don't wanna fight in a holy war

Don't want the salesmen knocking at my door

I don't wanna live in America no more

Cause the tide is high

And it's rising still

And I don't wanna see it at my windowsill

MTV, what have you done to me?

Save my soul, set me free!

Set me free! What have you done to me?

I can't breathe! I can't see!

World War III, when are you coming for me?

Been kicking up sparks, we set the flames free

The windows are locked now so what'll it be?

A house on fire or a rising sea?

Why is the night so still?

Why did I take the pill?

Because I don't wanna see it at my windowsill

Don't wanna see it at my windowsill

Don't wanna see it at my windowsill

Don't wanna see it at my windowsill
