All I Want Lyrics
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 peace
Back off your jive
'Cause I'm sick of not living
To stay alive
Leave me alone
I'm not asking a lot
I just don't want to be controlled
All I want
That's all I want
All I want
'Til someone around you hears what you say
You've tried being cool
You feel like a lie
You've played by their rules
Now it's their turn to try
Back off your jive
Cause I'm sick of not living
To stay alive
Leave me alone
I'm not asking a lot
I just don't want to be controlled
All I want
That's all I want
All I want
I'll say it again
If you could just listen
Then it might make sense
Back off your jive
Cause I'm sick of not living
To stay alive
Leave me alone
I'm not asking a lot
I just don't want to be controlled
Tha'ts all I want
That's all I want
I love this song, this is the song that made me start listening punkrock. I think this song is about people never saying what they think and who are botteling up all their anger. This is how they feel about hte world, and what they should scream out loud.
Hey vinnyimthedumbass, Your the one that though about what to say. He is pointing the obvious because this site is about that. READ FUCKHEAD.If you havent noticed it, the title of the site has the word MEANINGS in it, oh yeah, i'll pause while you ask your mom what that means. He i sjust giving his own opinoin about the song because some people might not notice the obvious. So STFU n00b!!!
And by the way, Kick Ass song.... :)
I think that this song is 4 people who're fed up with society were they live and wanna blow up 'em all or runaway from all this bullshit, it' s my personnal philosophy, try to conform, if you're rejected, fuck 'em all
This is another Offspring song that I relate to...I always used to put up with people's shit, never saying boo to anyone, but you can only do that for so long until you can't take it anymore and you speak up.
No, it's actually HOME LIFE, I own every CD and have read every lyric of every song, I'm sort of a fanatic.
this is a song i relate 2, coz i allways have 2 put up with ppls shit & if i want 2 go neware pretend 2 b sumthing im not. thats 1 thing i would like 2 do, i'd just have a crappy life though then, mind u i do now neway.
I wish I'd found this song earlier when I was going through tough times........and before I got kicked out of high-school........death to the preppy bastads!!
FUCK THE US GOVERNMENT, THEY LIE. i should make them eat my shit and then shit out my shit which will be both my shit and thier shit and make them eat it again
Heavy
