VACATION (DON'T TELL ME)       © 2005 Ross/Math Lab

don't tell me he's just a friend
don't tell me this can't be the end
running around without leaving
don't tell me what to believe in

 commitment, not confinement
 proposals, not pronouncements
 desire, not dependence
 passion without pretense

   don't tell me
   don't tell me
   don't tell me
   don't tell me

don't tell me your greatest thrill
my gameboy taught me not to kill 
so much rhyme without reason
don't tell me thinking is treason

 amendments, not commandments
 families, not governments
 homelands, not frontiers
 communities without captives

   don't tell me
   don't tell me
   don't tell me
   don't tell me

your propoganda doesn't scare me
in this life of opportunity
i'm not an anarchist
i'm just independent and pissed

 so don't tell me that it's time
 i know you're leaving me behind
 the future is yours
 the present is mine
 and that's fine

   don't tell me
   don't tell me
   don't tell me
   don't tell me
