Patti Smith — Privilege/Set Me Free lyrics

Lyrics

I see it all before me The days of love and torment
The nights of rock and roll
I see it all before me Sometimes my spirit’s empty
Don’t have the will to go on
I wish someone would send me Energy
Give me something
Give me something to give
Oh God, give me something
A reason to live
My body is aching
Don’t want sympathy
Come on, come and love me Come on, set me free
Set me free
The Lord is my shepherd
I shall not want
He maketh me to lie down
In green pastures
He leadeth me beside the still waters
He restoreth my soul
He leadeth me through the path
Of righteousness for His name’s sake
Yeah, though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil for Thou art with me Hey Lord, I’m waitin' for you
Oh God, I’m waitin' for you
Waitin' to open Your ninety-eight wounds
And be Thee, be Thee
Lead me, oh, lead me Leave me something
Leave me something to live
Oh, God, give me something
A reason to live
I don’t want no handout
No, not sympathy
Come on, come and love me Come on, set me free
Set me free
Come on, set me free
Set me free
Come on, set me free
Set me free
Come on, set me free
Set me free
Oh, I’m so young, so goddamn young
(Set me free)
Oh, I’m so young, so goddamn young
(Set me free)
Oh, I’m so young, so goddamn
Set me free
In the presence of my enemies
Thou anointest my head with oil
My cup runneth over
Surely, goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life
And I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever
Damn, goddamn, goddamn, goddamn
Here I am
