[Chorus]
You better quit trying to live my life for me
You better quit trying stop nagging me so constantly
You better quit trying, I just want for you to let me be
Cause I've got who I want to show me the way
Don't need sympathy so please go your way

[Verse 1]
Go away you hypocrite (Go away, oh)
Promise is a comfort to a fool
You hypocrite (Go away-o)
I dont need no sympathy you hypocrite (Go away)
And please don't you sorry for me you hypocrite (Go away, oh)

[Bridge]
'Cause since I've seen the light
You dont know what its done for me
And its such a fight only who'se
Got eyes to see can see
Since I've seen the light
You dont know what its done for me
And its such a fight only who'se
Got eyes to see can see

[Chorus]
You better quit trying
And give the little youth a chance
You better quit trying
For they can make this place a better land
You better quit trying
I hope you elders understand
They got their own mind
They too can lead the way
They can make the garden red, gold and green for little children to play

[Chorus]
Go away, you hypocrite (Go away, oh)
Promise is a comfort to a fool you hypocrite (Go away, oh)
I dont need no sympathy you hypocrite (Go away-o)
And please don't you sorry for me you hypocrite (Go away, oh)

[Bridge]
'Cause since I've seen the light
You dont know what its done for me
And its such a fight only who'se
Got eyes to see can see
Since I've seen the light
You dont know what its done for me
And its such a fight only who'se
Got eyes to see can see

[Outro]
You better quit trying to live my life for me
You better quit trying stop nagging me so constantly
You better quit trying and give the little youth a chance
You better quit trying for they can make this place a better land
