Have you heard the news? 
I'm doing what I said I would 
So now you say 
Boy, I always knew you could 
My Wildest dreams 
Murdered by reality 
I gave all I could give you 
But now I'm taking back what belongs to me 
I read you like a drugstore book 
How'd I ever think you were cool 
You got no bait left on you hook 
You're no friend, and buddy, I'm no fool 

Ain't nothin' you can do about it 
Ain't nothin' you can say 
Ain't nothin' you can do about it 
No one's gonna stand in my way 

I've done my time 
I've given up my pound of flesh 
So why can't the man seem to understand 
That I've already passed the test 
You did your best to keep me down 
Tried to make my spirit give in 
But I'm here to make a big, big sound 
It's your time to lose and it's my time to win 

Ain't nothin' you can do about it 
Ain't nothin' you can say 
Ain't nothin' you can do about it 
No one's gonna stand in my way 

I know you can never go back 
Once you turn and walk out that door 
Got no time for worries like that 
I'm not a kid anymore 

You did your best to keep me down 
Tried to make my spirit give in 
But I'm here to make a big, big sound 
It's your time to lose and it's my time to win 

Ain't nothin' you can do about it 
Ain't nothin' you can say 
Ain't nothin' you can do about it 
No one's gonna stand in my way
