Thou Shalt Not

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.
