Day after day
Your homelife's a wreck
The powers that be just breathe down your neck
You get no respect
You get no relief
You gotta speak up and yell out your peace
Chorus:
So back off your rules
Back off your jive
Cause I'm sick of not living
To stay alive
Leave me alone
I'm not asking a lot
I just don't want to be controlled
That's all I want
All I want
All I want
All I want
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
How many times is it gonna take
Till someone around you hears what you say
You try being cool
You feel like a lie
You've played by their rules
Now it's their turn to try
Chorus
I've said it before
I'll say it again
If you could just listen
then it might make sense
