lyrics

Can't Make Me (By Chris Brett)

Chorus:

Can't make me be what you want me to be
Can't make me see what you want me see
Can't make me do what you want me do
Can't make me live a life just like you
'cause - I believe what I wanna believe
and you can't make me do what I don't wanna do

Verse 1:

Well, I could be a high tech exec
with my feet on the desk smoking Cuban cigars
Killing time on the telephone line
Speculating on vintage cars
I could be a factory boy writhing in grime
worrying if my quotas done on time
Boss on my back with his shitty paycheck
I don't need your crap so go on get off my back, 'cause
I believe what I wanna believe
and you can't make me do what I don't wanna do

Chorus

Verse 2:

I was born just like you
pride in ourselves I never broke the rules
My eyes focused on untouchable dreams
but you go blind when when life ain't what it seems
You get so tired and angry and cold
trying to make your world go like they told you it should go
So throw away your dreams, your visions and your clouds
You reach for what's real and you break through the shrouds
I believe what I wanna believe
and you can't make me do what I don't wanna do

Chorus
