Off My Back

when i was a young girl back in school

not all straight A’s you see

IF IT’S NOT ENOUGH i’ll do as i please

but one night he told me

« brace yourself for you will be lonely,

there ain’t no other way »

if moderation is just too lazy

i guess the joke is on me

the human world just doesn’t fit

they wrote my story for

me, get off my back baby

i wanna do some more

I’LL TAKE SOME authority back

WHAT AM I WAITING waiting for?

say, aren’t you hungry?

learned at a young age i should feel sorry

not anymore, not me

now i got so much joy i’m sharing

some for you some for me

i will face the world with you baby

as many as you may be

won’t be dying alone, ** sorry

alone don’t mean lonely

the human world just doesn’t fit

they wrote my story for

me, get off my back baby

i wanna do some more

I’LL TAKE SOME authority back

WHAT AM I WAITING waiting for?

say, aren’t you hungry?
