Adrian Borland - Walking in the Opposite Direction Lyrics

My spirit's free, you won't get me
Into the box your life is locked in
Your value system's broken down
I see it blocks the road it stopped in

And every day the things you crave
Make a play for my affection
I tell you straight, I won't be swayed
I'm walking in the opposite direction

They scream at me from flashing screens
They hassle me from city walls
But these are other people's dreams
They don't resemble mine at all

And every day the things you crave
Make a play for my affection
I tell you straight, I won't be swayed
I'm walking in the opposite direction

The stuff that you hold dear and high
How does it warrant such devotion?
I think you've lost the reason why
Though you still carry on the motion

And every day the things you crave
Make a play for my affection
I tell you straight, I won't be swayed
I'm walking in the opposite direction
