[Verse] I lived most of my life in New York City Born and raised in the promised land One day this man in black said, "Listen Jack" Told me I was chosen to kiss the ring on his hand He said, "kindly reconsider the sins of your past" And I said, "mister you can kindly kiss my ass"
[Chorus] Thou shalt not (but I know what I want) Thou shalt not Thou shalt not (but I know what I need) Thou shalt not
[Verse] Well, the son of a bitch must be crazy Tellin' me I'm gonna go down I said, "this ain't the inquisition, you ain't the son of God And I sure as hell don't give a damn" He said, "you're long gone, can't you tell?" And I said, "mister, if I'm goin', I'll see you in hell! Yeah!"
[Chorus] Yeah
Thou shalt not (gotta live my life) Thou shalt not Thou shalt not (any way I please) Thou shalt not
Don't even try, you know I'd die to be free, oh yeah And you wonder why, you can't bring this guy to his knees 'Cause I know what I want, yes, I know what I need Well, I know what I want, I know what I need Gotta live my life just the way I please, ooh yeah
[Solo]
'Cause I know what I want, yeaaahhhhh!
Thou shalt not Thou shalt not Thou shalt not Thou shalt not Thou shalt not (but I know what I want) Thou shalt not Thou shalt not (oh, yes I do) Thou shalt not Thou shalt not (I'm gonna live my life) Thou shalt not Thou shalt not (any way I choose) Thou shalt not You got that right
