A Walk Lyrics

Recorded live June 27, 1996 at The Roskilde Festival in Roskilde, Denmark

I'm going for a walk 
not the after dinner kind 
I'm gonna use my hands 
and I'm gonna use my mind 

and who the hell are you to tell me what to do? 
you can't even tie your own haggard shoes 
your closet is a mess, and your backyard's falling down 
and I have no grand ideas or intentions of sticking around 

I'm gonna build a world 
independant and exempt 
all alone I'll be an empire 
with no mortgage and no rent 

and I don't need to live in your stinking zoo 
you can't even feed the animals donated to you 
your storage sheds are ramshackled, flies decorate the walls 
and you expect me to die here in this shit-filled tiny stall? 
and I know you're watching! everything I do 
call me threat to your children call me socially unglued 
call me master of insanity, unable to relate 
call me lazy, bane, and filthy 
call me monstrous reprobate 

I'm going for a walk and there's nothing you can do 
'cuz I don't have to live like you 

so I'm going for a walk
