All I Want

Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

Day after day

Your whole 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

So back off your rules

Back off your jive

Cause I'm sick of not living

Just stayin' 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

Before someone around you hears what you say

You try being cool

You feel like a lie

You've played by the rules

Now it's their turn to try

So back off your rules

Back off your jive

Cause I'm sick of not living

Just stayin' 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

I've 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

Just stayin' 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
