Have you heard the news? I'm doing what I said I would So now you say Boy, I always knew you could My wildest dreams Murdered by reality I gave you all I could give to you But now I'm taking back what belongs to me I read you like a drugstore book How'd I ever think you were cool You got no bait left on your hook You're no friend and buddy, I'm no fool [Chorus] Ain't nothin' you can do about it Ain't nothin' you can say ain't' nothin' you can do about it No one's gonna stand in my way I've done my time I've given up my pound of flesh So why can't the man seem to understand That I've already passed the test You did your best to keep me down Tried to make my spirit give in But I'm here to make a big, big sound It's your turn to lose and it's my turn to win [Chorus] I know you can never go back Once you turn and walk out that door Got no time for worries like that I'm not a kid anymore You did your best to keep me down Tried to make my spirit give in But I'm here to make a big, big sound It's your turn to lose and my turn to win [Chorus]
