Have you heard the news?

I'm doing what I said I would

So now you say

Boy, I always knew you could

My wildest dreams

Murdered by reality

I gave you all I could give to you

But now I'm taking back what belongs to me



I read you like a drugstore book

How'd I ever think you were cool

You got no bait left on your hook

You're no friend and buddy, I'm no fool



Chorus:

Ain't nothin' you can do about it

Ain't nothin' you can say

Aint' nothin' you can do about it

No one's gonna stand in my way



I've done my time

I've given up my pound of flesh

So why can't the man seem to understand

That I've already passed the test



You did your best to keep me down

Tried to make my spirit give in

But I'm here to make a big, big sound

It's your turn to lose and it's my turn to win



Repeat chorus



I know you can never go back

Once you turn and walk out that door

Got no time for worries like that

I'm not a kid anymore



You did your best to keep me down

Tried to make my spirit give in

But I'm here to make a big, big sound

It's your turn to lose and my turn to win



Repeat chorus
