lyrics

You can tell me how to live my life
You can tell me how to dress
You can tell me to believe your lies
You can tell me to clean up your mess
You can tell me to be a good boy
You can tell me that I'm dumb
You can tell me to follow you
You can tell me to bang on your drum
You can tell me just how great you are
You can tell me you're smart
You can promise me the moon and stars
You can cross your heart
You can tell me it'll all work out
You can tell me we're fine
You can tell me we're moving on up
When we're in a decline
You can tell me a whole lotta things
You can beat me till I bruise
But today I refuse to follow you

You can tell me how just puny I am
You can tell me you're great
You can tell me I don't need lovin'
All I need is hate

You can tell me you are king of the world
You can tell me you're Jesus
You can tell me that there's no one to stop you
And you can do what you pleases
You can tell me what I want to hear
You can lie through your teeth
You can sell me a bill of goods
Just don't look underneath
You can tell me it'll all work out
You can tell me we're cool
You can tell me we're moving on up
Like I'm some sort of fool
