Well we don't need no one to tell us what to do

Oh yes we're on our own and there's nothing you can do

So we don't need no one like you

To tell us what to do



We don't refer to the past when we're showing what we've done

Our generation gap means the war is never won

The past is in your head

The future's in our hands



Cos I'm a brat

And I know everything

And I talk back

Cos I'm not listening

To anything you say



And if you count to three (one two three)

You'll see there's no emergency

You'll see I'm not the enemy

Just a prisoner of society
