Non serviam Songtext
von Frank Turner

I′m the idiot, I was considerate
I thought things were different
But the dumb and degenerate
Can be so belligerent
Aggressive illiterates

And the social abyss
Is cold and deliberate
And blacker than cigarette
If you dare to be different
Good faith considerate
You're the idiot

I don′t mean to be cagey about this so I won't be
You can open your backbone so quickly it scares me
Cravingly praying you won't be the next victim
Wiping the blood of your friends from your literals


Banish me and sentence me to drink the hemlock
But I will not back down, I will not turn my fore
Before this new set of volumes, this obvious scam
I′ll be keeping a hold of myself, non serviam
Non serviam

Is this what you wanted?
Endlessly haunted, all the history distorted?
You think that you hate me?
You fucking Johnny come lately
I′m a champion athlete (I'm a champion athlete)

I′m making a list and I'm checking it twice
And come next Christmas I don′t plan to be nice
Whether you're an atheist or if if you believe
You′ll be judged on your cowardice and I will not forgive

God asked Lucifer, "What's the plan?"
He said, "I know who I am, I'm non serviam" (non serviam)
But moving forward let′s keep things simple
Hear my principles (hear my principles)


Help the ones in need
Do your best to leave the others be
Doubt yourself and keep your mind open
Navigate the progress and the scams
Non serviam
Non serviam
Non serviam
