[Intro]

Yesterday, I had this dream

Where I had just turned 43

I still hadn't been on MTV

Life just isn't very easy on the other team

Oh, yeah

[Verse 1]

I've got so much to say, but not enough style

To make the people listen, yeah, cause I'm not

Putting on an act

I gotta watch my back

I saw you, your face was on the tele

"Cool shirt", yeah, that could never be me

You're putting on an act

You better watch your back

[Pre-Chorus]

This doesn't feel right

Is this real life?

[Chorus]

Do, I do, do what I want to

Do, you do, do what they tell you

Do, I do, do what I want to

Take all you need

But my music leaves with me

[Verse 2]

So now I'm living my life in a stereo type of life

It's my placebo

Putting on an act

I've got to watch my back

Is there anything you wouldn't do for greed?

Is an evil thing, it's a disease

Putting on an act

You better watch your back

This doesn't feel right

Is this real life?

[Chorus]

Do, I do, do what I want to

Do, you do, do what they tell you

Do, I do, do what I want to

Take all you need

But my music leaves with me

[Bridge]

Yesterday, I had this dream

Where I had just turned 43

I still hadn't been on MTV

Life just isn't very easy on the other team

So I

Do, I do, I do what I want to

Do, I do, I do what I want to

Do, you do, do what they tell you

Yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

This doesn't feel right

Is this real life?

[Chorus]

Do, I do, do what I want to

Do, you do, do what they tell you

Do, I do, do what I want to

Take all you need

But my music leaves with me

[Outro]

Take what you need, take what you need

Take all you need, but my music leaves with me
