  • We took a vow in summertime
    Now we find ourselves in late December
    I believe that New Year's Eve
    Will be the perfect time for their great surrender
    But they don't remember

    Anger wants a voice
    Voices wanna sing
    Singers harmonize
    'Til they can't hear anything
    I thought that I was free
    From all that questionin'
    But every time a problem ends
    Another one begins

    And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness
    Anybody with a worried mind can never forgive the sight
    Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified
    I don't wanna live like this
    But I don't wanna die

    Ooh
    Ooh, doo
    Ooh
    I don't wanna live like this
    But I don't wanna die

    Within the halls of power lies a nervous heart
    That beats like a Young Pretender's
    Beneath these velvet gloves I hide
    The shameful crooked hands of a money lender
    'Cause I still remember

    Anger wants a voice
    Voices wanna sing
    Singers harmonize
    'Til they can't hear anything
    I thought that I was free
    From all that questionin'
    But every time a problem ends
    Another one begins

    And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness
    Anybody with a worried mind can never forgive the sight
    Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified
    I don't wanna live like this
    But I don't wanna die

    Ooh
    Ooh, doo
    Ooh
    I don't wanna live like this
    But I don't wanna die

    And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness
    Anybody with a worried mind can never forgive the sight
    Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified
    I don't wanna live like this
    But I don't wanna die

    Ooh
    Ooh, doo
    Ooh
    I don't wanna live like this
    But I don't wanna die

    And the stone walls of Harmony Hall bear witness
    Anybody with a worried mind can never forgive the sight
    Of wicked snakes inside a place you thought was dignified
    I don't wanna live like this
    But I don't wanna die Writer/s: Ariel Zvi Rechtshaid, Ezra Koenig
