D.I.Y., D.I.Y., D.I.Y., D.I.Y. Don't tell me what I will do… - Peter Gabriel

" "
D.I.Y., D.I.Y., D.I.Y., D.I.Y.
Don't tell me what I will do, 'cos I won't.
Don't tell me to believe in you, 'cos I don't.
Be on your guard, better hostile and hard, don't risk affection;
Like flesh to the bone in the no-go zone,
You're still looking for the Resurrection.
Come up to me with your "What did you say?"
And I'll tell you, straight in the eye:
D.I.Y., D.I.Y.

I'm smarter than that.
I worked it out.
I've been stretching my mouth
To let those big words come right out.

Turning the tide, you are on the incoming wave.
Turning the tide, you know you are nobody's slave.

From the pain come the dream.
From the dream come the vision.
From the vision come the people.
From the people come the power.
From this power come the change.
