1.Planet of people-pleasers,
2.A million voices telling me how to seize it.
3.I can’t take it anymore—
4.I’ll spend my days telling them to shove it.
5.To each their own.
6.A salesman’s ringing my phone,
7.Telling me where to go—
8.But no, I don’t need the lowdown.9.
10.I owe, oh-oh-oh,
11.Nothing—not a penny—don’t want your sermons.
12.No, oh-oh-oh.13.
14.(Take-take-take-take) Take me to the beach.
15.Ah-ah-ah, you can keep the mountains.
16.Ah-ah-ah, take the snow.
17.Ah-ah-ah, it’s way too cold—
18.My heart’s cold enough.
19.Ah-ah-ah, when push comes to shove,
20.Ah-ah-ah, you can have the mountains.
21.Ah-ah-ah, I’ll take the beach.22.
23.Shut my ears to listen no more,
24.While someone else proudly boasts.
25.They keep on without a care,
26.When I say “I don’t want it,” they click their tongues.
27.(Tch) What? Ah—
28.God? Buddha? Playing human now?
29.Inside my head—leave me alone!
30.Who am I supposed to be?
31.Take your hands off!32.
33.I owe, oh-oh-oh,
34.Close your mouth before you spew it all.
35.No, oh-oh-oh.36.
37.(Take-take-take-take) Take me to the beach.
38.Ah-ah-ah, you can keep the mountains.
39.Ah-ah-ah, take the snow.
40.Ah-ah-ah, it’s way too cold—
41.My heart’s cold enough.
42.Ah-ah-ah, when push comes to shove,
43.Ah-ah-ah, you can have the mountains.
44.Ah-ah-ah, I’ll take the beach.45.
46.I’m better off alone (better off alone),
47.Like a rolling stone (like a rolling stone),
48.Turning off my phone (off my phone).
49.No one’s dragging me down, down, down.
50.Just give me some space (give me some space),
51.That sun on my face (sun on my face).
52.And the days roll on, and on, and on.53.
54.T-A-K-E, take me to the beach. (Oh)
55.Ah-ah-ah, you can keep the mountains (keep the mountains).
56.Ah-ah-ah, take the snow.
57.Ah-ah-ah, it’s way too cold (it’s way too cold)—
58.My heart’s cold enough.
59.Ah-ah-ah, when push comes to shove,
60.Ah-ah-ah, you can have the mountains.
61.Ah-ah-ah, I’ll take the beach. (I’ll take the)
62.Take me to the (I’ll take the).63.
64.I don’t have no friends, yeah, none at all. (Ayyy)
65.Got me to the end, until the very last call. (Don’t, I’ll take the)
66.I don’t have no friends, yeah, no one at all. (Ask anyone)
67.Got me to the end, until the very last fall. (Take me to the beach)
