My Right Lyrics

My right
To say what I want
And think the way I wanna think
My right I wanna speak my mind
My right to yell, my right to scream
My right
I don't need no silly God
To tell me what I have to do
I'll live my life the way I want
I don't care about your little world
And I
I can't believe
You're telling me
What's good for me
How do you know whay's good
And I
I can't believe
You're telling me
What's good for me
Now get away from me
My right
My right
I don't know what I did to you
It's always what people think
Well I'm sick of you, I know I'm right
You sleazy money-grubbing freak
My right, my mind, my soul
My body, my acidity
And I don't have to listen to you
It's my right cause I'm a human being
I can't believe
You're telling me
What's good for me
How do you know whay's good
And I
I can't believe
You're telling me
What's good for me
Now get away from me
My right
My right
To say what I want
And think the way I wanna think
My right I wanna speak my mind
My right to yell, my right to scream
My right
I don't need no Attilla the Hun
To tell me what I have to do
I'll live my life the way I want
I don't care about your little world
And I
I can't believe
You're telling me
What's good for me
How do you know whay's good
And I
I can't believe
You're telling me
What's good for me
Now get away from me
My right

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary."

Steve Jobs

This song is about the same kind of thing that that quote is saying, not living by others' standards, opinions or thoughts but your own. To think for yourself and for someone or something to think for you. Not to subvert to dogmas or authority. Because it's YOUR life, live it the way you want to. They're YOUR rights.
