Do what I want cause I can and if I don't

Be ignored by the stiff and the board

Because I wanna
Gonna get through your head what the mystery man said
Because I'm gonna
Hate to say I told you so, alright
Come on
Do believe I told you so
Now it's all out and you know
Cause I wanted to
Turn my back on the rot that's been planning the plot
Because I'm gonna
No need for me to wait
Because I wanna
No need two three, too late
Because I'm gonna
Hate to say I told you so, alright

Do believe I told you so
Do what I please gonna spread the disease

Gonna call all the shots for the no's and the not's
Because I wanna
