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
Telling me I’m going to 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 going
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
I’m gonna 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
Because I know what I want, yes, I know what I need
Well, I know what I want, I know what I need
I’ve got to live my life just the way I please, ooh yeah
Yes, I know what I want, yeaaahhhhh!
Thou shalt not, thou shalt not
Thou shalt not, thou shalt not
Thou shalt not
But I know what I want -Thou shalt not
Thou shalt not
Oh, yes I do — Thou shalt not
Thou shalt not
I’m going to live my life
Thou shalt not
Thou shalt not
Any way I choose — Thou shalt not
Yeah
You got that right
