Go as you please
We went to school wrapped up in cotton wool, dreaming 'bout the day I'd leave,
I couldn't wait to get out, I couldn't wait to lay it out, all of those bad memories.
Maybe I should mention I could never pay attention to all those educated fools.
Got to do it my way, forgettin' what they all say, makin' up my own kind of rules.
Yeah...
Working behind the desk at the local NEB, worrying about my shirt and tie,
Yeah, you had to be clean, and you had to make its scene,
So's the public wouldn't blink an eye.
In walks the boss, still carrying his cross, saying "You'd better get it right or else."
Yeah, I had enough of it - me, I'd rather rough it, I'm just gonna please myself.
Yeah...
You've been walking on a fine line, don't mess around with your mind,
You know they played it mean and cruel,
You got to do it your way, forgettin' what they all say, makin' up your own kind of rules.
Got to do it your way, forgettin' what they all say, makin' up your own kind of rules,
Makin' up your own kind of rules.
Yeah...
Haz lo que quieras
Fuimos a la escuela envueltos en algodón, soñando con el día en que me iría,
No podía esperar para salir, no podía esperar para desahogarme, todas esas malas memorias.
Tal vez debería mencionar que nunca pude prestar atención a todos esos tontos educados,
Tengo que hacerlo a mi manera, olvidando lo que todos dicen, creando mis propias reglas.
Sí...
Trabajando detrás del escritorio en el NEB local, preocupándome por mi camisa y corbata,
Sí, tenías que estar limpio, y tenías que hacerlo bien,
Para que el público no pestañeara.
Entra el jefe, aún cargando su cruz, diciendo 'Más te vale hacerlo bien o sino'.
Sí, ya había tenido suficiente - yo, prefiero pasarla mal, solo voy a complacerme a mí mismo.
Sí...
Has estado caminando en una línea delgada, no juegues con tu mente,
Sabes que jugaron duro y cruel,
Tienes que hacerlo a tu manera, olvidando lo que todos dicen, creando tus propias reglas.
Tienes que hacerlo a tu manera, olvidando lo que todos dicen, creando tus propias reglas,
Creando tus propias reglas.
Sí...
