Waking up at  six a.m. shower, shave and dress, grab a cup of coffee, out the door.
Following that too-familiar roadmap to success,  I don’t want to do it anymore.
Anybody out there keeping score? I don’t want to do it anymore.

Cuttin’ carbs, reducing fats, and counting calories. Eating foods that frankly I despise.
I’ve had it up to here with cauliflower and zucchinis. Don’t you know I miss those pizza pies.
Giving up those foods that I adore. I don’t want to do it anymore.

We need rules, I understand. You gotta have a plan.
Chaos, mass confusion take the floor.
As for me and what is mine, I’m gonna cross that line.
I’m not gonna do it anymore. 

You can have your rules to follow, I don’t really care. Rules were meant to break is my new creed
Life is not an endless game of copy and compare. You do what you have to to succeed.
Anybody out there keeping score? I don’t want to do it anymore.

Sometimes I hear voices, they are whisp’ring in my ear. ‘Do you think you truly know the score?’
Life is not  supposed to be a casualty of  fear. Don’t you wonder what’s behind that door
Fear will not consume me anymore.  I don’t want to do it anymore.

We need rules, I understand. You gotta have a plan.
Chaos, mass confusion take the floor.
As for me and what is mine, I’m gonna cross that line.
I’m not gonna do it anymore. 

It takes a special kind of dumb to think there’s just one plan,find what’s right for you, the rest ignore
I was once a victim, but I will not be again. I don’t want to do it anymore.
I may end up destitute and poor, I don’t want to do it anymore.
They want you to fit a mold, don’t stand out, be a bore.  I don’t want to do it anymore.
