All I want

(Okay) yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

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

So back off your rules, back off your jive
'Cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive
Leave me alone, asking a lot
I don't wanna be controlled
It's all I want, it's all I want
It's all I want, it's 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

So back off your rules, back off your jive
'Cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive
Leave me alone, not asking a lot
Just don't wanna be controlled
It's all I want, it's all I want
It's all I want, it's all I want

I've said it before, I'll say it again
If you could just listen then it might make sense

So back off your rules, back off your jive
'Cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive
Leave me alone, not asking a lot
Just don't wanna be controlled
It's all I want, it's all I want
It's all I want
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
