Lyrics for All I Want

Okay! Ya ya ya ya ya! 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 gotta speak up and yell out your piece So back off your rules Back off the jive 'Cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive Leave me alone Asking a lot I don't wanna to be controlled That's all I want That's all I want That's all I want That's all I want Ya ya ya ya ya! How many times (is it gonna take) 'Til someone around you hears what you say? You've tried 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 to be controlled That's all I want That's all I want That's all I want That's 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 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 to be controlled That's all I want That's all I want That's all I want Ya ya ya ya ya!
