How do you believe that you are free...free to deceive?
Hey, hey, get away, I'm not your protégé,
Don't want to be a leader, modern day believer,
To follow you's a lie, I'd rather criticise,
Don't want to be a seller, want to be Paul Weller.
Please believe me when I tell you that it's more than I can take,
Don't forget I don't believe you when you throw it in my face.
How can you expect that you're exempt, that you're elect?
No way, not today; tomorrow we escape,
You're guilty of a legend, modern-day obsession,
Don't bother with a spin when nobody listens,
I'm not about to stay, and you just fade away.
Please believe me when I tell you that it's more than I can take,
Don't forget I don't believe you when you throw it in my face.

Please believe me when I tell you, (yeah, yeah)
In my face,

Yeah, yeah,
Please believe me when I tell you. (yeah, yeah)
