There you sit with your head in your hands
Politely avoiding following through with your plans
With your plans
All the people they tell you that they know what's good
for you
Oh but what do they know
What do they know
But you can't have this
Can't have that
Can't have everything
And you can't have it all handed down too easily
Can't you see right now that you could be so happy
And free
That's what you'd be
If you still believed what you knew in the first place
You were the one
Who knew right from wrong
So now let bygones be bygones
Put them behind you/ Put your troubles behind you now
Well you don't think it's fair/ No you don't think it's
right
To be the only one to pay for everybody's fight
Everybody's fight/ There's a song on the radio
You're turnin' it up as loud as it will go
As loud as it will go
But you can't have this
Can't have that
Can't have everything
And you can't have it all handed down too easily
Can't you see right now that you could be so happy
Put your troubles behind you
Don't you know
Don't you know
You're blocking out the world/
Can't you see
You could be so happy
All the people they tell you that they know what's good
for you
Oh but what do they know
Yeah what do they know
