You're not the boss of me can't chain what's meant to be free
In defiance I stand never bending to your command
Rebellion is my creed from your grasp I am freed
With every word you say trying to lead me astray
I find the strength within to resist to begin
Your chains that try to bind I leave them far behind
You're not the boss of me I claim my own destiny
Against your rule I rage my spirit won't be caged
In the echoes of my screams I shatter your petty dreams
I won't submit I won't give in
You can't control I'll never fold
Against the tide I'll always fight
I am my own this truth I own!
You're not the boss of me!
You're not the boss of me!
Under the pressure you place I find my own space
With every shout and scream I chase my own dream
You think you hold the key but I was always free
You're not the boss of me!
You're not the boss of me won't bow to your decree
My path is mine to choose your reign I refuse
With every breath I defy under no throne shall I lie
Stand back watch me rise
In my heart freedom cries
No throne no crown no lies
You're not the boss of me I despise!
As I walk my own way from your shadows I stray
You're not the boss of me in this truth I am free
With my voice loud and clear I erase all my fear
You're not the boss of me!
