Read my lips, I don't care what you say
I might listen but I'll do it my own way
Don't you see it don't mean nothing to me
When all's said and done, I'll stand on my two feet
Let me be I live by my own rules
Independent, independence
Can't you see it's my right to choose
Independence, independent
Once they tried to teach, teach me all their rules
I had my own ideas didn't fit in, in their schools
Don't they see, that we all have a brain
There to learn not to be whipped and tamed
Let me be I live by my own rules
Independent, independence
Can't you see it's my right to choose
Independence, independent
Read my lips, I don't care what you say
I might listen but I'll do it my own way
Don't you see it don't mean nothing to me
When all's said and done, I'll stand on my two feet
Let me be I live by my own rules
Independent, independence
Can't you see It's my right to choose
Independence, independent
