Don't Make Me Ill

AFI

Right now we've got a reason to live
But it's got nothing to do with you
We've got a lot of places we're gonna go
A lot of things that we're gonna do

In your world we may be no one
But what makes you think you're someone?
We have got just what we need
And we don't need you

No one, no one
No one, no one

I can tell where our future lies
And you can tell we've got nothing to hide
The way things seem to me right now
Everything will be just fined

We're going to do it all our way
We don't need you to darken our day
We've never given up before
And this stand won't be our first time

No one, no one
No one, no one

No one's gonna tell me
I'm gonna do it my way
No one's gonna tell me
How to get it done

No one, no
No one's gonna tell me now

No one's gonna tell me
I'm gonna do it my way
No one's gonna tell me
How to get it done

No one's gonna tell me
I'm gonna do it my way
No one's gonna tell me
How to get it done

No one's gonna tell me
I'm gonna do it my way
No one's gonna tell me
How to get it done

No one's gonna tell me
I'm gonna do it my way
No one's gonna tell me
How to get it done

No one's gonna tell me
I'm gonna do it my way
No one's gonna tell me
How to get it done

    General Commentthis song is very inspirational. ive seen AFI many times, because i happen to live in petaluma, where i've heard they wrote the song 'days of the phoenix' about the club i go to (the phoenix theatre).(im unsure though so dont like call me an idiot if im wrong, rumors are a bitch) they are an awesome band. totally worth anyones time or money, if you like good punk music.

    General Commenti think this song is about being a punk, and not wanting anyone else to fuck with you or tell you what to do.

    General Commentits all about being what you wanna be, no matter what people say. its about never giveing up on what you believe.

    General Commentyeah, I think this song is about doing your own thing. I can kind of relate to it in that my band is struggling to jump to the next level and start getting shows in different clubs and stuff outside our shitty small town, and we gotta do it all ourself, our way. We just gotta keep at it and do our thing until we start moving up. This song is great.

    General CommentThe quote at the beginning is from spoof metal documentary "The Comic Strip Presents... Bad News On Tour" - kind of a pre Young Ones thing with Ade Edmondson, Nigel Planer and Rik Mayall. At that point in the programme the tour bus had broken down and the TV Crew wouldn't let them borrow theirs or help mend it.

    General Commentits about independence from everything and finding out you can do what you want without help from anyone.
