I said I got a life of my own, I've got a life of my own.

I said don't try to make me a part of no plan
Take me or leave me alone
Freedom's a feeling that few understand
I got a life of my own.

I said I oughta know where to sow my own seeds
And when I oughta leave it alone
Trouble's an old friend that I didn't need then
And I had a wife of my own.

I said I got a life of my own, I said I've got a life of my own.

I caught a beer bottle flat in the face
It laid me back to the bone
Hate is a flavor that's ugly to taste
And I had a knife of my own.

Now they leave me alone and alive by myself
Lost in the steel and the stone
Hoping for heaven and headin' for hell
I got a life of my own.

I said I got a life of my own, I got a life of my own
I got a life of my own, I got a life of my own...
