Who Will Stop Us?
Who says I can't do what I want?
I want to do it so I will.
Are you going to stop me?
Shivers are snaking down my spine
Oh money, money sent from the divine.
Hard earned? You think not.
Oh, how you are wrong; I just know how to use what I've got.
Tis you who tells me I can't have what I want.
I want it so I will get it.
You are going to try to stop me, now are you?
Oh sweet, sweet persistence.
From this, most learn to keep their distance.
You... well learned? Ha! I think not.
If so, you would know how to use what you do not.
