Autocratic Songtext
von Anne‐Marie Helder

I don′t need anyone to talk to
If you plan to lend your ear
I don't need anyone to share with
I′ve got all my friends in here

I don't need no catalytic conversation just to 'bring me out′
I know me and that′s no consolation
I don't really wanna let it out -


IF I WANT TO LET YOU IN
I WILL, I WILL
IF I WANT TO KEEP YOU OUT,
I WILL, I WILL
′COS I AM THE AUTOCRATIC SUM OF MY LIFE
AND I WILL KEEP MY GUARD IF I LIKE

Well I know the games you're playing
′Cos I know I've played them too
Just a push in the right direction
And I might dish the dirt to you

I know the kindness the caring
Masquerading as ′naive'
But no love, no earthly motivation betrays me to honesty


IF I WANT TO LET YOU IN
I WILL, I WILL
IF I WANT TO KEEP YOU OUT,
I WILL, I WILL
'COS I AM THE AUTOCRATIC SUM OF MY LIFE
AND I WILL KEEP MY GUARD IF I LIKE
