Worldly things

Lyrics from a song a friend of mine wrote, copied without permission (and Copyright Eric Odegaard):

Worldly Things

I don’t need to have a soul
It’ll only get abused
I don’t need to play a role
and proselytize to you

I don’t need your profiteers
to sell me diamond studded rings
I don’t need your crucifix
nor other worldly things

I don’t need to be a man
if you think that I’m a boy
but you need to understand
we don’t need to destroy

I don’t need your profiteers
to sell me diamond studded rings
I don’t need your war machines
nor other worldly things

I don’t need to be consoled
I don’t need to be amused
I don’t need to stay whole
to recognize the truth

I don’t need your profiteers
to sell me diamond studded rings
I don’t need your politics
nor other worldly things

I don’t need your credit cards
don’t need your presidents or kings
I don’t your idle gods
nor other worldly things
and now it’s time
to simply fade away
and now it’s time
to fade away
to fade away

Typos my own and not the author of the song.  He’s an English major and I embarrass him sometimes with my spelling mistakes.
