IMPERIALISM lyrics - Anti-Flag (feat. Ashrita Kumar)

Did things my own way, made up my own rules

Took off a Sunday and stole all of your jewels

Moved into your house, you said can you move

I said, I'm goin', I'm goin' nowhere

I plan to fabricate a little holiday

And find myself a lovely, cozy place to stay

And if I like it I may never go away

Yeah!

And when I show up you'll be thrilled to let me in

Cause I got all you need to wash away your sins

Yeah, once you know me you'll realize I'm your best friend

You've been needing a new friend

I'm gonna be there till the end

Did things my own way, made up my own rules

Took off a Sunday and stole all of your jewels

Moved into your house, you said can you move

I said, I'm goin', I'm goin' nowhere

The heads of state are drinking up their vintage wine

While blowin' smoke on human rights and apartheid

From Pittsburgh, PA all the way to Palestine

Yeah!

I'll tell you who's your enemy and who to trust

If you don't like it, I don't really give a fuck

I'm rolling heavy and I'm tired of your distrust

You see your loyalty's a must...

You better bring it, motherfucker

Did things my own way, made up my own rules

Took off a Sunday and stole all of your jewels

Moved into your house, you said can you move

I said, I'm goin', I'm goin' nowhere

And the sun keeps shining down

On the hills and city streets of this fair town

What once and what is now are futile

To break down, to break down

Did things my own way, made up my own rules

Took off a Sunday and stole all of your jewels

Moved into your house, you said can you move

I said, I'm goin', I'm goin'...

I'm goin' nowhere, nowhere

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm goin' nowhere, nowhere

Oh, oh

Did things my own way, made up my own rules

Took off a Sunday and stole all of your jewels

Moved into your house, you said can you move

I said, I'm goin', I'm goin' nowhere
