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
Tellin` me I`m gonna 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 goin`, 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` - gotta 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
`Cause I know what I want, yes, I know what I need
Well, I know what I want, I know what I need
Gotta live my life just the way I please, ooh yeah
`Cause 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 gonna live my life - `Thou shalt not`
`Thou shalt not` - any way I choose - `Thou shalt not`
You got that right
