Song Lyrics

People
Around the world they say I'm bitter
But I can say I'm not quitter
And you can't
And people
No they don't apologize
That's why we have to advertise
In the paper

I can't make you stop and listen
That won't save you
And I can't believe everybody wants to party
All night long until the birds are singing

So do what you want to do
Be what you want to be
Live how you want to live
If you want to be free
Then you're going to be free

But people
Don't you know it's not polite to point and stare
No that's not the way to show you care
About the way you live
But I bet you don't give a
And people
You've got to give it up where credit's due
But you only did it 'cause I told you to
Well too bad so sad hope I didn't make you mad

I can't make you stop and listen
That won't save you
And I can't believe everybody wants to party
All night long until the birds are singing
Well the birds are singing

So do what you want to do
Be what you want to be
Live how you want to live
If you want to be free
Then you're going to be free

So say what you want to say
And hear what you want to hear
Live how you want to live
If you want to be free
Then you're going to be free
If you want to be, got to be, have to be let me be free
