Can’t please nobody Whatever I do Everyone got somethin’ To tell me, it’s true People keep yellin’ "Do this! Do that! But don’t even Think about Goin’ near that!" Can’t please nobody Though I try and I try Sometimes I wanna Jes' lay down and die "You’d betta think ‘Bout what you gon’ do Coz everything Gonna come right back On you!" Can’t please nobody Whatever I say But livin’ in chains Jes' won’t win me the day I’m gonna break out And be who I choose Even if doin so Give me the blues I am a man Who gon’ live my life free Voices keep yelling! S’no **** thing to me Can’t please nobody Whatever I do Everyone got somethin’ To tell me s’true
