Lyrics of All I Want - The Offspring

Ya, ya, ya

Day after day
Your whole life's a wreck
The powers that be just breathe down your neck
You get no respect
You get no relief
You gotta speak up and yell out your peace

So back off your rules
Back off your jive
Cause I'm sick of not living
Just stayin' alive
Leave me alone
I'm not asking a lot
Just don't want to be controlled

It's all I want
It's all I want
It's all I want
It's all I want

Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

How many times is it gonna take
Before someone around you hears what you say
You try being cool
You feel like a lie
You've played by the rules
Now it's their turn to try

So back off your rules
Back off your jive
Cause I'm sick of not living
Just stayin' alive
Leave me alone
I'm not asking a lot
Just don't want to be controlled

It's all I want
It's all I want
It's all I want
It's all I want

I've said it before
I'll say it again
If you could just listen
Then it might make sense

So back off your rules
Back off your jive
Cause I'm sick of not living
Just stayin' alive
Leave me alone
I'm not asking a lot
Just don't want to be controlled

It's all I want
It's all I want
It's all I want
It's all I want

Ya, ya, ya, ya, ya
