The Offspring - All I Want lyrics

(Okay)
Yeah [5x]

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 piece

So back off your rules, back off the jive
'Cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive
Leave me alone, not asking a lot
I don't wanna be controlled
That's all I want [4x]

Yeah [5x]

How many times (is it gonna take)
Till someone around you hears what you say?
You tried being cool (you feel like a lie)
You 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, not asking a lot
Just don't wanna be controlled
That's all I want [4x]

I said it before, I'll say it again
If you 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, not asking a lot
Just don't wanna be controlled
That's all I want [3x]

Yeah [5x]
