Lyrics

The song's lyrics center around Dexter wanting to live a free life, without society telling him how he needs to live.

Okay,
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.

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 let 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 don't want to be controlled.

That's all I want,
that's all I want.
That's all I want,
that's all I want yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.

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 I'm not asking a lot,
I don't want 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 I'm not asking a lot,
I don't want to be controlled.

That's all I want,
that's all I want.
That's all I want,
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah.
