Not You

Words by Dan

Right now I don't wanna fight you
And I don't wanna be like you
Tell me there's a price to pay
I'm not listening to what you say

I pledge allegiance to my nation
But I'll never change the station
Far away or across the street
Just shut up and distance me

When your life has passed you by
With more regrets than apple pie
Don't tell me what to do
I've got my own life, and I'm not you.

Don't tell me what to think
Don't tell me what to say
Don't tell me what to do
I've got my own life, and I'm not you

Don't tell me what to wear
Don't tell me who to be
Don't act like I should care
Don't tell me what to do
I've got my own life, and I'm not you

Just sit back and watch your garden
While your arteries harden
Pick on someone else next time
You got your life I got mine

I pledge allegiance to my nation
But I'll never change the station
Far away or across the street
Just shut up and censor me

When your life has passed you by
With more regrets than apple pie
Don't tell me what to do
I've got my own life, and I'm not you.

Don't tell me what to think
Don't tell me what to say
Don't tell me what to do
I've got my own life, and I'm not you

Don't tell me what to wear
Don't tell me who to be
Don't act like I should care
Don't tell me what to do
I've got my own life, and I'm not you

You can yell for all to see
Kick my dog and threaten me
Try to dictate angrily
But don't attack my right to be
Me.

I pledge allegiance to my nation
But I'll never change the station
Far away or across the street
Just shut up and distance me

When your life has passed you by
With more regrets than apple pie
Don't tell me what to do
I've got my own life, and I'm not you.

Don't tell me what to think
Don't tell me what to say
Don't tell me what to do
I've got my own life, and I'm not you

Don't tell me what to wear
Don't tell me who to be
Don't act like I should care
Don't tell me what to do
I've got my own life, and I'm not you
