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 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
How many times is it gonna take
Till someone around you hears what you say
You've tried being cool
You feel like a lie
You've played by their rules
Now it's their turn to try
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
I said it before
I'll say it again
If you could just listen
Then it might make sense
Day after day your home life'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 piece 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 How many times is it gonna take Till someone around you hears what you say You've tried being cool You feel like a lie You've played by their rules Now it's their turn to try 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 I said it before I'll say it again If you could just listen Then it might make sense Explain Request ×
