Lyrics for Thou Shalt Not

Yeah! I lived most of my life in New York City Born and raised in the promised land One day this man in black said "Listen Jack" Told me I was chosen to kiss the ring on his hand He said "Kindly reconsider the sins of your past" And I said "Mister, you can kindly kiss my ass" Thou shalt not But I know what I want Thou shalt not Thou shalt not But I know what I need Thou shalt not Well, the son of a bitch must be crazy Tellin' me I'm gonna go down I said, "This ain't the inquisition, you ain't the son of God And I sure as hell don't give a damn" He said "You're long gone, can't you tell?" And I said "Mister, if I'm goin', I'll see you in hell, yeah!" Thou shalt not But I know what I want Thou shalt not Thou shalt not Yes I know what I need Thou shalt not Yeah Thou shalt not I'm gonna live my life Thou shalt not Thou shalt not Any way I please Thou shalt not Don't even try, you know I'd die to be free, oh yeah And you wonder why, you can't bring this guy to his knees 'Cause I know what I want, yes, I know what I need Well, I know what I want, I know what I need Gotta live my life just the way I please Oh yeah Yes I know what I want! Thou shalt not, thou shalt not Thou shalt not, thou shalt not Thou shalt not But I know what I want Thou shalt not Thou shalt not Oh, yes I do Thou shalt not Thou shalt not I'm gonna live my life Thou shalt not Thou shalt not Any way I choose Thou shalt not Yeah, you got that right!
