Well I don't want no Jesus Freak to tell me what it's all about
No black magician telling me to get my soul out
Don't believe in violence, I don't even believe in peace
I've opened the door and my mind has been released
Well I don't want no preacher telling me about the god in the sky
No I don't want no one to tell me where I'm gonna go when I die
I want to live my life with no people telling me what to do
I just believe in myself, 'cause no one else is true
Every day just comes and goes
Life is one long overdose
People try to ruin me
I can see through their frustration
People riding their real pace
Keep on running their rat race
Behind each flower grows a weed
In their world of make-believe
So believe what I tell you, it's the only way to fight in the end
Just believe in yourself, you know you really shouldn't have to pretend
Don't let those empty people try and interfere with your mind
Just live your life and leave them all behind
No black magician telling me to get my soul out
Don't believe in violence, I don't even believe in peace
I've opened the door and my mind has been released
Well I don't want no preacher telling me about the god in the sky
No I don't want no one to tell me where I'm gonna go when I die
I want to live my life with no people telling me what to do
I just believe in myself, 'cause no one else is true
Every day just comes and goes
Life is one long overdose
People try to ruin me
I can see through their frustration
People riding their real pace
Keep on running their rat race
Behind each flower grows a weed
In their world of make-believe
So believe what I tell you, it's the only way to fight in the end
Just believe in yourself, you know you really shouldn't have to pretend
Don't let those empty people try and interfere with your mind
Just live your life and leave them all behind

It just occurred to me, after hearing this song a million times over the past 30+ years that the title completes King Solomon’s (according to rabbinic tradition) observation in Ecclesiastes 1:9: “...there is no new thing...” (better known as “There is nothing new...”).
