Don't worry, baby It goes right through me I'm like the wind and my anger will disperse Thin persecutors Your twisted whispers A horned reptile that is crawled upon the earth I went for my usual walk Just tell it like it is Tell it like it was Judge and jury, executioner Judge and jury, executioner Judge and jury When darkness follows And no tomorrows It's all been decided All spies deceptive All bouncing voices down the echo chamber Don't worry, baby It goes right through me I went for my usual walk I went around the block I just can't talk or reason with my executioner Judge and jury, executioner Judge and jury Been wasting trails You talk in layers I went for my usual walk Didn't like this din't like it was Judge and jury, executioner Judge and jury, executioner Judge and jury Don't worry, baby It goes right through me I'm like the wind and my anger will disperse
