Day after day your home lifes a wreck
The powers that be just breath down your neck
you get no respect
you get no relief
You gotta speak up
and yell out your peace

 [bad word] 
so back of [bad word] 
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 the [bad word] 
now it's their turn to try

 [bad word] 
so back off [bad word] 
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

Bridge:
i said it before
i'll say it again
if you could just listen
then it might make sense

 [bad word]
