Biography:
The Cranberries were an alternative rock band from Limerick, Ireland that formed in 1989 and rose to mainstream popularity in the early 1990's. The band consisted of Noel Hogan (guitar/vocals; also a member of Mono Band), Mike Hogan (bass/vocals), and Fergal Lawler (drums/percussion; also a member of The Low Network). Dolores O'Riordan (vocals, keyboards, guitars) was a member from 1990 until her death in 2018. The band went on hiatus in 2003 and reunited in the summer of 2009.

Verse:
G C Am
It's not worth anything more than this at all
G C Am
I'll live as I choose or I will not live at all
G C/G Am
So return to where you come from, return to where you dwell
G C Am
Because harassment's not my forte, but you do it very well
Chorus:
G C/G Am
But I'm free to decide, I'm free to decide,
G C Am
And I'm not so suicidal after all.
G C/G Am
I'm free to decide, I'm free to decide
G C Am
And I'm not so suicidal after all.
You must have nothing more with your time to do
There's a war in Russia and Sarajevo too
So to hell with what you're thinking
And to hell with your narrow mind
Your so distracted from the real things
You should leave your life behind
