I stand defiant

You can tell me what you think I should do

But I won’t be told by you,

You can say you make the rules

But I won’t be nobody’s fool,

And I won’t be told by you

Say what you wish but you can’t tell me,

You can threaten, you can abuse

But I won’t be controlled by you,

I won’t be your puppet or your fool

And I will not be told be you,

And however you try and berate me

I want you to know that you can’t make me see,

Si do what it is you demand of me to do

But know I won’t submit to you.
