Bonnie "Prince" Billy - Like It Or Not

Everyone walks to a certain point then turns around;
how far you go just depends on the time that you got.
Time is a killer like its good buddies love, light and sound.
There’s not enough room for us both here, like it or not.
Everyone smiles when they see something rendered with justice.
Everyone laughs to dispel something bound up inside.
Everyone cries when we feel like nobody trusts us.
Everyone dies in the end so there’s nothing to hide.
Like it or not, I’m singing destruction!
Like it or not, I’m happy today!
Rise up and remember your golden instruction!
The end of the world isn’t going away.
Everyone likes to feel needed and needs to feel wanted.
Everyone hopes to one day find home in the end.
Everyone’s dream is to walk among others undaunted.
I wish you joy and heaven and freedom my friend.
Breaking my heart will be done many times then it’s over.
You may not find me when you come to knock on my door.
Change is a constant and so I am constantly changing.
When the smoke clears and you look around, I’m not there anymore.
Like it or not, I’m disruption.
Like it or not, you’re insulated wire obeying the rules of
electric conduction while the rest of us set life on fire.
Like it or not. And I like it and I like it and I like it quite a lot.
Say goodbye to friends and family, you’re coming with me . . . like it or not.
Like it or not, I’m deconstruction.
Like it or not, I’m blowing you apart.
Brace yourself for ecstatic eruption from the
volcanic core of your heart, like it or not.
