You're gonna have to play our game
You're gonna have to do as we say
And if you're gonna play our game
You better learn to play it right
You're gonna have to bear our name
You're gonna have to tell your secrets
And if you're gonna bear our name
You better learn to spell it right
Chorus:
We gave you all we had
We gave you all you wanted
We gave you all you've got
So what!
You're gonna have to act your age
You're gonna have to be our pride and joy
And if you're gonna act your age
You better learn to sit up right
I'm gonna have to break my cage
I'm gonna have to get away from here
And if I'm gonna break my cage
I better learn to do it right
Chorus:
Why don't you let me go
Why don't you let me be myself
Why don't you let me free myself
