The Offspring - Bad Habit [Audio]

I am waiting
On a mountaintop
For the moment that the sky will strike
My apologies
Are forever lost
Soon to ashes in a flash of light

I look to the stars and ask why
If they could just teach my dark heart to feel
All I've saved - why
Is thrown away

My intentions
Like a sweeter room
Only bring to me a fading light

Locked up forever inside
I look to the stars and ask why

Back off your jive
Cause I'm sick of not living
To stay alive
Leave me alone
I'm not asking a lot
I just don't want be controlled

ya, ya, ya, ya, ya

How many times is it gonna take
Till someone around you hears what you say
You've tried being cool
You feel like a lie
You've played by their rules
Now it's their turn to try

So back off your rules
Back off your jive
Cause I'm sick of not living
