[Verse 1]
I never wanted anything but this
I worked hard, tried hard
I ran around in domestic bliss
I fought hard, died long

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Every time you're running out of here
Every time you're running I get the fear

[Verse 2]
I never wanted any broken bones
Scarred face, no home
Your words surround me and asphyxiate
And I burn all hate

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Every time you're running out on me
Every time you're running I can see

[Chorus]
I'm not a vegetable
I will not control myself
I spit on the hand that feeds me
I will not control myself

[Bridge]
The waters spray, the waters run all over me
The waters spray, the waters run
And this time you're gonna pay

[Chorus]
I'm not a vegetable
I will not control myself
I spit on the hand that feeds me
I will not control myself

Radiohead

Radiohead emerged from the shadow of ‘90s Brit-pop with a sound that was moody, melodic and explosive; with roots planted firmly in both alternative culture and the art-rock legacy of such groups as Pink Floyd, R.E.M., The Smiths, and Talking Heads—from whose song they derived their name.

They formed in 1985, as On A Friday, named after the day they’d usually rehearse. The line-up hasn’t changed Thom Yorke (guitar/vocals), Ed O'Brien (guitar), Philip Selway (drums) and brothers Colin and Jonny Greenwood.

In 1991, they signed with EMI, changed their name to Radiohead, and recorded their first EP, Drill. They released the record in 1992, and it made little impact, debuting on the UK Charts at #101. It wasn’t until their catchy 1992 single “Creep” became a massive hit that the band was launched into the limelight.
