 F#m                D             E 
Day after day your homelife's a wreck 
     F#m                  D                A   G#m 
The powers that be just breathe down your neck 
     F#m                 D        E 
You get no respect, you get no relief 
     F#m                D             A    G#m 
You gotta speak up and yell out your peace

    F#m                  D 
So back off your rules, back off your jive 
           A                  E 
Cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive 
 F#m                 D 
Leave me alone, I'm not asking a lot 
        A                    E 
I just don't want to be controlled 
            F#m  D             A  E 
It's all I waaant, it's all I waaant 
            F#m  D             A  E 
It's all I waaant, it's all I waaant

 F#m              D         E 
How many times is it gonna take 
      F#m                D              A  G#m 
Till someone around you hears what you say 
      F#m                D           E 
You try being cool, you feel like a lie 
         F#m 
You've played by their rules 
           D             A  G#m 
Now it's their turn to try 

      D         E          F#m      E 
I've said it before, I'll say it again 
    D              E 
If you could just listen 
         D              C#7  
Then it might make seeeeense
