Don’t De-Rock Me

Lyrics

I ain't no program on your television screen They only taught me what they wanted me to be Heard all your so-called facts. Now hit me with the truth Takes a lotta nerve the way you played me for the fool It's my personal selection to fly in my own direction No time for fuckin' 'round with mediocrity Takes ev'rything I got just tryin' to be me Life's like a highway. We're all try'n' to stay on time Travel atcha own speed. You take your lane, I'll take mine Don't believe all that you hear or half of whatcha see 'S'waste o' time to criticize. Don't de-rock me (Chorus:) Don't de-rock me. Don't de-rock me You be you and I'll be me. Don't de-rock me "Backstage Betty", banana in her cherry, in the shower down on her knees Like to think she'll own ya if she'll do all that ya please Hurts like a mother bein' cursed by a punter who's five sheets to the wind Won't stop at nothin', claimin' to be cousin till security lets 'em in Now I'm no symbol of perfection, so why deal with this infection? Tired of bein' treated like some piece of property Fakes, lies, patronizin' don't sit well with me Blastin' down the highway, try'n' to stay between the lines You can get to where you're go'n'. Just don't ignore the signs Don't de-rock me. Don't de-rock me 'S'waste o' time to criticize. Don't de-rock me (Chorus) No… Don't… (Solo) Don't de-rock me, don't de-rock me 'S'waste o' time to criticize, don't de-rock me Don't de-rock me, don't de-rock me You be you and I'll be me, don't de-rock me Don't de-rock me, don't de-rock me Don't de-rock me, don't de-rock me Don't de-rock me, don't de-rock me Don't de-rock me, don't de-rock, don't de-rock, don't de-rock me!
