Have you heard the news?

I’m doing what I said I would

So now you say

Boy, I always knew you could



My wildest dreams

Murdered by reality

I gave all I could give you

But now I’m taking back what belongs to me



I read you like a drugstore book

How’d I ever think you were cool

You got no bait left on your hook

You’re no friend, and buddy, I’m no fool



Ain’t nothin’ you can do about it

Ain’t nothin’ you can say

Ain’t nothin’ you can do about it

No one’s gonna stand in my way



I’ve done my time

I’ve given up my pound of flesh

So why can’t the man seem to understand

That I’ve already passed the test



You did your best to keep me down

Tried to make my spirit give in

But I’m here to make a big, big sound

It’s your turn to lose and it’s my turn to win



Ain’t nothin’ you can do about it

Ain’t nothin’ you can say

Ain’t nothin’ you can do about it

No one’s gonna stand in my way



I know you can never go back

Once you turn and walk out that door

Got no time for worries like that

I’m not a kid anymore



You did your best to keep me down

Tried to make my soul give in

But now I’m here to make a big, big sound

It’s your turn to lose and it’s my turn to win



Ain’t nothin’ you can do about it

Ain’t nothin’ you can say

Ain’t nothin’ you can do about it

No one’s gonna stand in my way
