Thou Shalt Not

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" "Thou shalt not" - but I know what I want - "Thou shalt not" "Thou shalt not" - but I know what I need - "Thou shalt not" 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!" "Thou shalt not" - but I know what I want - "Thou shalt not" "Thou shalt not" - but I know what I need - "Thou shalt not" - 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 Cause I know what I want, yeaaahhhhh!
