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've gotta speak up,
And yell out your peace

So back off your rules
And back off your jive
'Cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive

Leave me alone
I'm not asking a lot
I don't want to be controlled
That's 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

So back off your rules
And back off your jive
'Cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive

Leave me alone
I'm not asking a lot
I don't want to be controlled
That's all I want
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

So back off your rules
And back off your jive
'Cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive

Leave me alone
I'm not asking a lot
I don't want to be controlled
That's all I want
All I want
All I want
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
