Lyrics The Screaming Jets – Jurisdiction

All I need is a fresh page and a pen
To help me pretend I’m not here
So I don’t have to deal with you
I need a different point of view

I didn’t ask you for your pain
‘Cause I don’t like that kind of game
And I don’t need your extra dilemma

But I’d like to know how far you’d go
For your kind of reason

I’m not part of your jurisdiction
You don’t have that power over me
I’m not part of your new religion

I just want the chance to start again
So I can pretend I’ve never seen you
Erase your memory from my brain
I shouldn’t have to be the same
So don’t ask me to explain
My motivation or my way

But I’d like to know just how far you’d go
For your kind of reason

I’m not part of your jurisdiction
You don’t have that power over me
I’m not part of your new religion
And I’ll never be
I’m not part of your jurisdiction
You don’t have that power over me
I’m not part of your new religion

So I won’t lend you my ears to you

Yes, I’d like to know low you’re gonna go
For your kind of treason

I’m not part of your jurisdiction
You’ve got no power over me
I’m not part of your new religion
And I’ll never be
You know that I will never be
