I wasn't born behind a wall to keep me in Don't need no holy book to tell me good from sin Ain't got a problem with my neighbour or his wife I took the open road to get me through this life I never messed around with drugs or drink a lot Don't chase no skirt around the Rainbow parking lot I keep my weapon safe and loaded by my bed This is the way I live and I have no regrets And I mind my own business I'm just tellin' you this so you know where I stand Yes I do my own business And I ain't gonna change wouldn't do me no good I have been here too long is it not understood That when all that we know isn't all we should we know You can follow like sheep or trust in yourself No God, No Religion Nobody to rule over me I'm free, that's me And that's the way it's gonna be Don't trust my government and those who make the law If they want peace why do they start another war And all this preaching 'bout what's right and what is wrong Have led this simple man to write this protest song
