Nobody...
can tell me...
I know...
I know better now...

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 livin' under your marshall law

I would think it was for my own good
I would think it was true

Nobody can tell me; I know, I know better now
Nobody can tell me; I know, I know better now

Gotta be in early, gotta 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 havin' fun

I would think it was for my own good
I would think it was true

Nobody can tell me; I know, I know better now
Nobody can tell me; I know, I know better now...
