[Chorus]
Nobody can tell me
I know, I know better now

[Verse 1]
You're a kid, you're a brat
Clean up your room, throw out the trash
When I was your age, I heard it all
Like living under your martial law

[Pre-Chorus]
I would think it was for my own good
And I would think it was true

[Chorus]
But nobody can tell me
I know, I know better now
And nobody can tell me
I know, I know better now

[Verse 2]
Got to be in early, got to go to school
They don't like my friends, I don't like those rules
I'm not a criminal, I'm not on drugs
Don't wait up for me, I'm out having fun
[Pre-Chorus]
I would think it was for my own good
And I would think it was true

[Chorus]
Nobody can tell me
I know, I know better now
Nobody can tell me
I know, I know better now

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Nobody can tell me
I know, I know better now
And nobody can tell me
I know, I know better now
