I Do Not Wish

Bill Collins, Andy “Sunfrog” Smith, Al Schvitz, Dave Dictor

[Verse 1]
I do not wish to wipe the dusty haze from the plexiglass of morning
Or the lusty nine-hour old sex stench from my passion-soiled skin
I do not wish to remember the repression in the guise of redemption
Or gain eternal peace that costs the sacrifice of an earthly paradise
I do not wish to let go of either of my lovers' hands
Or deny any loving touch
I do not wish to live in a fashion chic cliche
Or a sea of self-righteous rhetoric that translates to zero action
I do not wish to cash my freedom in
For five dollar and twеnty-five cents an hour jobs
Or live thе sunlit hours in the thought hold of a time clock

[Chorus]
I do wish to love out my days and all my desires
I do want to share with my friends my passion, lust and fires
I do want to lose my inhibitions and fears
I do wish to be of one and keep my loved ones near

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
I do want a tolerant world with no guilt and shame
I do wish to remember the path on which I came
I do want a happier place where a stranger is a friend
I do wish for peace of mind, a blissful righteous blend

[Verse 2]
I do not wish to drive a fast car, fly a fast plane
Or drop from a fast death from legal drugs, bullets or bombs
I do not wish to encase my life in concrete
And forget the whispering wind, the whistling water, the flowering tree
Or the setting sun
I do not wish to deny the playful pleasure, the boundless joy
Or love-jolted full tilt boogie of imaginative insurrection
I do not wish to eat the burgers, lick the lard
Or suck up the death-drenched diet
Served up with special sauce on a sesame seed bun
Harvested from the land of destroyed rain forest
I do not wish any of these things
These I do not want
I do wish to create a new world from the shell of the old
