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

(Instrumental Break)

'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.
