All I want lyrics

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 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 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'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

I'm not asking a lot

I just 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,

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 to be controlled.

That's all I want

all I want

all I want

all I want

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
