We had a party
And it lasted seven days
Now all the neighbours
Wanna spit in my eye
They say I'm lazy
Kinda crazy
Man, I'll tell ya that they might
Just have it right
Some people think I'm a fool
Cause I don't play by their rules
I really don't give a damn
They say I live in a daze
I'm just a fucking disgrace
It's just the life that I planned
Now I don't wanna live my life like you
I'll lay around
And do just what I do
I don't wanna your advice
Or you might just pay the price
No, I don't wanna live my life like you
They never see just who I am or what I do
But they have all made up their minds
I see you sneaking round
And peeping out your windows
Man, where do they find the time
Some people think I'm a fool
Cause I don't play by their rules
I really don't give a damn
They say I live in a daze
That I'm just a fucking disgrace
This is the life that I planned
No, I don't wanna live my life like you
I'll lay around
And do just what I do
I don't wanna your advice
Or you might just pay the price
No, I don't wanna live my life like you
You know we're gonna have a party party
You know we're gonna have a party party
You know we're gonna have a party party
You know we're gonna have a guitar solo
solo
Now all the neighbours
Say they're packing up and moving out
Now it's my lucky day
They tried to push me out
By bitching and complaining
But they know I'm here to stay
Some people think I'm a fool
Cause I don't play by their rules
I really don't give a damn
They say I live in a daze
I'm just a fucking disgrace
That's just the life that I planned
Now I don't wanna live my life like you
I'll lay around
And do just what I do
I don't wanna your advice
Or you just might pay the price
No, I don't wanna live my life
I don't wanna live my life
I don't wanna live my life
I don't wanna live my life like you
I don't wanna live my life
I don't wanna live my life like you
I don't wanna live my life
I don't wanna live my life like you
