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 peace



Chorus:



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

Just don't want to be controlled

It's all I want

It's all I want

It's all I want

It'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 the rules

Now it's their turn to try



Chorus



I've said it before

I'll say it again

If you could just listen

then it might make sense



Chorus



Ya, Ya, Ya, Ya, Ya
