Suicidal Tendencies
Ain’t Mess’n Around
[Verse 1]
I'm sick and tired of the status quo, and here´s something else that you should know
You got it, I want it, I ain't mess'n around
I don't care about authority, cause they don´t give a damn about me
I want it, you got it, I ain't mess'n around
[Chorus]
Cause I'm as free as free can be, cause I believe
And nothing can take that from me
Cause I´m as strong as strong can be
And I will fight, I fight for what I believe
[Verse 2]
We all have our own right to live, you mess with me then something's gonna give
You got it, I want it, I ain't mess'n around
You call it wrong, but I call it right
You try to stop me then you've got a fight
You got it, I want it, I ain't mess'n around
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Come and join us and you'll see, that we are proud
Cause we got the right to believe
Try to stop us and you'll see, that we are strong
And we fight for what we believe (2, 3, 4)
[Verse 3]
The system doesn't care 'bout you or me, it only cares about prosperity
You got it, we want it, I ain't mess'n around
They lock the gates and they guard the doors, but we're good at sneaking through the cracks and pores
You got it, we want it, I ain't mess'n around, no
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4]
I lost my hope and sensitivity, if that makes me crazy well I guess that's me
You got it, I want it, I ain't mess'n around
You can question my sanity but you can't question my integrity
You got it, I want it, we ain't mess'n around! No!
[Chorus]
Come and join us and you'll see
Our future's now, and we back up what we believe
Try and shut us out you'll see that we don't care
Cause we know what not to believe (3, 2, 1)
[Verse 5]
We're sick and tired of the status quo, and here´s one more thing that you should know
You got it, we want it, we ain't mess'n around
Don't give a fuck about authority, cause authority don't give a fuck about me!
You got it, we want it, we ain't mess'n around! (Ain't mess'n around!)
Ain't mess'n around
You got it, we want it
We ain't mess'n around! (Ain't mess'n around!)
[Outro]
Don't give a fuck about authority (Ain't mess'n around!)
Cause authority don't give a fuck about me!
You got it (You got it!), we want it (We want it!), we ain't mess'n around (We ain't mess'n around, no!)
