Ain't gonna tell me what to do
Ain't gonna tell me my point of view
Unless of course you're the lord thy god
Ain't got no use for critical thinking
Even when my boat is sinking
It's not my thinking that is flawed
You may think you know it all
You may think you're smart
You may think you know it all
You may be Descartes
You may think you know it all
Don't matter if you do
Ain't got no right to tell me what is true
Ain't gonna tell me what to think
Ain't gonna tell me my shit don't stink
Even when my shit is all wrong
Get my truth from a higher power
He's up there in his ivory tower
And he's told me what is what his whole lifelong
Don't call me dumb
I ain't no dope
Don't call me dumb
Just misanthrope
Ain't gonna tell me about what fact
Ain't gonna tell me what I think is cracked
Just tell me what I wanna hear
Don't wanna know what is real
Only care about what I feel
And what I feel is fear
