Breaking Away

My child, life will be OK.

If you listen to me and do what I say.

I will protect you with the help of God And your whole life will be all right

My dearest daughter what's troubling you? - I no longer believe in your ideals -

Well you're too young to think for yourself Daddy knows best -

AND DON'T YOU EVER FORGET THAT!

No! I am old enough to know what's right RIGHT!

My life is never going to be all right NO! I am finished listening to you RIGHT!

Leave me alone You're wrong, I'm right You're wrong,

I'm right You're wrong, I'm right This is my life!

You told me to go to church And you told me to go to school

You told me to respect my elders, most of them are fools like you

Understand I like to make All my decisions for myself

I won't blindly follow you Or anyone else NO! I am old enough to know what's right RIGHT!

My life is never going to be all right NO! I am finished listening to you RIGHT!

You're wrong, I'm right You're wrong, I'm right You're wrong, I'm right This is my life!

I try to make you understand I talk until my face is blue

I don't want to settle down And have a boring life like you

You always try to control me And tell me what I'm supposed to do

I'm not going to listen Anymore to you! NO!

I am old enough to know what's right RIGHT!

My life is never going to be all right NO!

I am finished listening to you RIGHT!

You're wrong, I'm right You're wrong,

I'm right You're wrong, I'm right This is my life!
