ya, ya, ya, ya,ya

giorno after day
Your hole life's a wreck
The powers that be just breathe down your neck
te get no respect
te get no relief
te 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
I'm not asking a lot
I just don't want be controlled
It's all I want

ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

How many times is it gonna take
Till someone around te hears what te say
You've tried being cool
te feel like a lie
You've played da 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 be controlled
It's all I want

I detto it before
I'll say it again
If te 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
I'm not asking a lot
I just don't want be controlled
It's all I want

ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
