Have you heard the news?
|
I'm doing what I said I would
|
So now you say
|
Boy, I always knew you could
|
|
My wildest dreams
|
Murdered by reality
|
I gave all I could give you
|
But now I'm taking back what belongs to me
|
|
I read you like a drugstore book
|
How'd I ever think you were cool
|
You got no bait left on your hook
|
You're no friend, and buddy, I'm no fool
|
|
Ain't nothin' you can do about it
|
Ain't nothin' you can say
|
Ain't nothin' you can do about it
|
No one's gonna stand in my way
|
|
I've done my time
|
I've given up my pound of flesh
|
So why can't the man seem to understand
|
That I've already passed the test
|
|
You did your best to keep me down
|
Tried to make my spirit give in
|
But I'm here to make a big, big sound
|
It's your turn to lose and it's my turn to win
|
|
Ain't nothin' you can do about it
|
Ain't nothin' you can say
|
Ain't nothin' you can do about it
|
No one's gonna stand in my way
|
|
I know you can never go back
|
Once you turn and walk out that door
|
Got no time for worries like that
|
I'm not a kid anymore
|
|
You did your best to keep me down
|
Tried to make my soul give in
|
But now I'm here to make a big, big sound
|
It's your turn to lose and it's my turn to win
|
|
Ain't nothin' you can do about it
|
Ain't nothin' you can say
|
Ain't nothin' you can do about it
|
No one's gonna stand in my way
|
