Day after day your home lifes 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 piece
So back off your rules
Back off your jive
Cause Im sick of not living
To stay alive
Leave me alone
Im not asking a lot
I just dont want to be controlled
Thats all I want
All I want
How many times is it gonna take
Till someone around you hears what you say
Youve tried being cool
You feel like a lie
Youve played by their rules
Now its their turn to try
So back off your rules
Back off your jive
Cause Im sick of not living
To stay alive
Leave me alone
Im not asking a lot
I just dont want to be controlled
Thats all I want
All I want
I said it before
Ill say it again
If you could just listen
Then it might make sense
