Resistance/Self-Control Lyrics

I could take you out but i just can't
won't you listen to the mindless rant
of a poor young man on the verge of it all
I would take you away but no I won't
I'm standin' here screaming \"hey do what you don't\"
and I don't need a new game right now

So give up on hope and cast down your dreams
resistance is as resistance seems
and nothing's gonna happen if you stay or go

Sworn off the love and kind caress
alone, at war, and free of stress
the hibernation state
this self control, it sets me free
it opens doors that I couldn't see
I hope this all works out okay
it's not like you're the antichrist
I've broken down but only twice
we wouldn't fall in love, we'd just fall down

So give up on hope and cast down your dreams
resistance is as resistance seems
and nothing's gonna happen if you stay or go

We'll book a flight but never fly
I'll take my leave if you start to cry
you know I can't deal with these things
my time has come so adios
I'll call only once
twice at most
so don't get excited when the telephone rings

no no no no no
