Lyrics

I rock a lawsuit
When I'm going to court
A white suit
When I'm gettin' divorced
A black suit
At the funeral home
And a birthday suit
When I'm home alone

Talkin' on the phone, got an interview 
With the Rolling Stone, they're saying,
"Now you're rich and now you're famous
Fake ass girls all know your name and
Lifestyles of the rich and famous,
Your first hit, are you ashamed"
Of the life, of the life
Of the life we're living

I just wanna live
Don't really care about the things that they say
Don't really care about what happens to me
I just wanna live

"Stop the messing around, boy
Better think of your future
Better make some good plans, boy"
Said every one of my teachers

"You better play it safe
You never know what hard times will come your way"

We say where we coming from
We've already seen the worst that life can bring

Now we expect it everywhere that we go
All the things that they say
Yeah, we already know

I just wanna live
(Just wanna live, just wanna live, just wanna live)

I just wanna live
(Just wanna live, just wanna live, just wanna live)
Don't really care about the things that they say
(Just wanna live, just wanna live, just wanna live)
Don't really care about what happens to me
I just wanna live
