Lyrics

I have a right to get up when I please
I have a right to get up when I please
Don't tell me, I can't break the law
'Cause the law has broken me
I have a right to get up
Don't care what you say
I have a right to get up
Don't care what you say
You're much too late to be thankful
But thank you anyway
I have a right to get up
Anywhere I'm bound
I have a right to get up
Anywhere I'm bound
Gonna tell the pain dealer
To keep his nervous breakdown
I have a right to get up when I please
I have a right to go, to go where I please
Don't tell me I can't break the law
'Cause the law has broken me
I have a, I have a right
