Whose Authority Songtext

von Nada Surf

I walk let you guide me
My eyes are shut like I'm blind
Turned to you and listening
I'm trying to be in your mind

There's a feeling that I get
When Ilook to the west
Having all the answers
Still failing the test

Wolfpacks and convoys
And captains and men
Surprised in translation
World without end

Welcome back to real life
The picture is gone
Put a contract out
On things that go on and on
How do you stay where
You most want to be?
Where'd you get the patience?
Did it come easily?

On whose authority
I have none over me
On whose authority
There's none that I can see
On whose authority
I have none over me
On whose authority
No-one speaks to me
On whose authority
I have none over me

All the tales and paper hereos
The ones who dyed the sun
And called it yellow
The ones who make you run

On whose authority
I have none over me
On whose authority
There's none that I can see
On whose authority
I have none over me
On whose authority
Nothing speaks to me
On whose authority
I have none over me
