Lyrics Like It or Not - Bonnie "Prince" Billy

Everyone walks to a certain point, then turns around
How far you go just depends on the time that you've got
Time is a killer like its good buddies love, light, and sound
There's not enough room for us both here, like it or not

Everyone smiles when they see something rendered with justice
Everyone laughs to dispel something bound up inside
Everyone cries when we feel like nobody trusts us
Everyone dies in the end, so there's nothing to hide

(Like it or not) I'm singing destruction
(Like it or not) I'm happy today
Rise up and remember your golden instruction
The end of the world isn't going away

Everyone likes to feel needed and needs to feel wanted
Everyone hopes to one day find home in the end
And everyone's dream is to walk among others undaunted
I wish you joy, and heaven, and freedom, my friend

Breaking my heart will be done many times, then it's over
You may not find me when you come to knock on my door
Change is a constant and so I am constantly changing
When the smoke clears, and you look around, I'm not there anymore

(Like it or not) I'm disruption
(Like it or not) you're insulated wire
Obeying the rules of electric conduction
While the rest of us set life on fire
(Like it or not)

And I like it
And I like it
And I like it
Quite a lot

Say goodbye to friends and family
You're coming with me
Like it or not

(Like it or not) I'm deconstruction
(Like it or not) I'm blowing you apart
(Like it or not) brace yourself for ecstatic eruption
From the volcanic core of your heart
Like it or not

(Like it or not)
Like it or not
(Like it or not)
(Like it or not)
