The Offspring - All I Want lyrics
[The Offspring - All I Want lyrics]
Okay! Ya ya ya ya ya!
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, askin' a lot
I don't wanna be controlled
That's all I want that's all I want
That's all I want that's all I want
Ya ya ya ya ya!
How many times (Is it gonna take)
'Til someone around you hears what you say?
You've tried bein' cool (You feel like a lie)
You've 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 want to be controlled
That's all I want that's all I want
That's all I want that's all I want
I 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 to stay alive
Leave me alone, not asking a lot
Just don't want to be controlled
That's all I want that's all I want
That's all I want
Ya ya ya ya ya!
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, askin' a lot
I don't wanna be controlled
That's all I want that's all I want
That's all I want that's all I want
Ya ya ya ya ya!
How many times (Is it gonna take)
'Til someone around you hears what you say?
You've tried bein' cool (You feel like a lie)
You've 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 want to be controlled
That's all I want that's all I want
That's all I want that's all I want
I 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 to stay alive
Leave me alone, not asking a lot
Just don't want to be controlled
That's all I want that's all I want
That's all I want
Ya ya ya ya ya!
