Well, You Can Do It Without Me - Father John Misty

If you see a flaming sword in your dreams at night

And feel inspired to assign me up to the front line

Well, give the order, you’ll storm the border without me

If they tell you you’re a genius, but you need some proof

Ask anybody on the payroll to go out with you

If they avoid ya, then they’ll award ya, definitely

Nobody that’s around you seems to get it right

How hard is it to follow just a few guidelines

And smile while you do it?

If you want a page written 'bout you in the book

But you need a food tester 'cause you cursed the cook

I’ll take some wine, but you can dine without me

Without me who would let you play God

And make believe that all the blasphemy

Was coming only from me?

Oh

If you’re bound for the throne, but the King won’t die

I can occupy the Queen, but that’s for her and I

I can do her and you’ll be ruler without me

Yeah, you can do it

But you can do it without me
