No Me

I don't need no backbone
I don't need no pride
I don't need someone
in which to confide
I don't need no helping hand
or a place to stand

I don't need my fellow man
equality,
frivolity, morality, or grace
I don't even need faith

I don't need tomorrow
I don't need today
I don't need a voice
asking me to stay
I don't need a say

I don't need to believe
I don't need to hope
I don't need to cling (anymore)
to this worn and splintered rope

I don't need justice
I don't need peace
I don't need care
or medical relief

I don't need
an end to this grief
