MY LIFE, MY RULES

Lyrics

[Intro – Immediate crunchy guitar riff and punchy drums] [Verse 1 – Male] Everyone’s got something to say Everybody thinks they know the way Got a list of my mistakes And a finger pointing at my face You can talk until you’re blue I’ve heard every word before I’m not taking your direction I don’t answer to you anymore [Pre-Chorus – Female] You think you’ve got me figured out But you don’t know a thing I’m done dancing to your tune I’m cutting every string [Chorus – Male & Female] My life, my rules I don’t need your green light My road, my way I’m gonna live it my way No brakes, no chains You won’t change a thing My life, my rules And I don’t owe you anything! [Verse 2 – Male] I’ve been good, I’ve played along Bit my tongue and played the part But I’ve got no time for waiting I’m just getting started You can keep your expectations Keep your rules, I’ve got my own I’ve got nothing left to prove I’m taking the long way home [Pre-Chorus – Female] You can shake your head and judge me You can say I’ve lost my mind But I’m not here to make you happy I’ve got better things in mind [Chorus – Male & Female] My life, my rules I don’t need your green light My road, my way I’m gonna live it my way No brakes, no chains You won’t change a thing My life, my rules And I don’t owe you anything! [Bridge – Male & Female trading lines] Male: You don’t own the road I’m taking Female: You don’t get to call the shots Male: I won’t live to your expectations Female: I don’t care if you like it or not Together: No more asking, no more waiting No more bending just to fit You had your chance to have your say Now watch me do it my way! [Final Chorus – Full male and female vocals] My life, my rules I don’t need your green light My road, my way I’m gonna live it my way No brakes, no chains You won’t change a thing My life, my rules And I don’t owe you anything! [Outro – Male & Female] My life! My rules! Nobody’s pulling my strings! My life! My rules! I’m doing my own damn thing! [Final guitar hit]
