Don't De-Rock Me (Album Version)

Don't De-Rock Me - Tesla

I ain't no program on your television screen

They only taught me what they wanted me to be

Heard all your so-called facts

Now hit me with the truth

Takes a lotta nerve the way you played me for the fool

It's my personal selection to fly in my own direction

No time for f**kin' 'round with mediocrity

Takes ev'rything I got just tryin' to be me

Life's like a highway We're all try'n' to stay on time

Travel atcha own speed

You take your lane I'll take mine

Don't believe all that you hear or half of whatcha see

'S'waste o' time to criticize

Don't de-rock me

Don't de-rock me Don't de-rock me

You be you and I'll be me Don't de-rock me

"Backstage Betty" banana in her cherry

In the shower down on her knees

Like to think she'll own ya if she'll do all that ya please

Hurts like a mother bein' cursed by a punter

Who's five sheets to the wind

Won't stop at nothin' claimin' to be cousin till security lets 'em in

Now I'm no symbol of perfection so why deal with this infection

Tired of bein' treated like some piece of property

Fakes lies patronizin' don't sit well with me

Blastin' down the highway try'n' to stay between the lines

You can get to where you're go'n'

Just don't ignore the signs

Don't de-rock me Don't de-rock me

'S'waste o' time to criticize Don't de-rock me

Don't de-rock me

Don't de-rock me

You be you and I'll be me Don't de-rock me

Don't de-rock me Don't de-rock me

'S'waste o' time to criticize Don't de-rock me

Don't de-rock me Don't de-rock me

You be you and I'll be me Don't de-rock me

Don't de-rock me

Don't de-rock me

Don't de-rock me

Don't de-rock me

Don't de-rock me

Don't de-rock me

Don't de-rock me

Don't de-rock me

Don't de-rock me

Don't de-rock me
