You can't push me around
I'm gonna stand my ground
You can't push me round
I'm gonna stand, gonna stand my ground
You tried to bully me back in school
You tried it on the street
A real smart ass who thought he had the world beat
But you know where that got you
Yeah, that's nowhere
Hey, tough guy, now nobody cares
You can't push me around
I'm gonna stand my ground
You can't push me round
You ain't gonna beat me down
You can't push me around
No one runs me out of town
You can't push me around
I'm gonna stand, gonna stand my ground
So you joined the army
So you would have more than time to kill
But you couldn't kill what you hid inside
Next stop was a prison cell
You thought that you could handle it
But you passed purgatory right to your self-made hell
You can't push me around
I'm gonna stand my ground
You can't push me round
You ain't gonna beat me down
You can't push me around
No one runs me out of town
You can't push me around
I'm gonna stand, gonna stand my ground
If I could run the world
I'd give you another chance
But I can't turn-turn back the clock
You can't push me around - I'm gonna stand my ground
You can't push me round - You ain't gonna beat me down
You can't push me around - No one runs me out of town
You can't push me around - I'm gonna stand my ground
