I will not go quietly
I will not accept your rules
Gonna live with myself
Before I live with any of you
I will not go quietly
I will not behave myself
It's not for sake of fighting
It's not for you or anyone else
And I was the best, you all knew it
On the days I cared at all
You can all say I blew it, you'll be talking bout me for years
[Chorus]
I was my own man
Can ya'll say that?
I was my own man
Can ya'll say that?
I was my own man, yeah I was the shit.
I don't believe in Bondi,
Don't believe in rugby league
I believe in Yoko, John Lennon, last weekend and me
Well I was the best you all knew it,
On the days I cared at all
Now you can all say I blew it, you'll be talking bout me for years
[Chorus]
I will not go quietly
I will not go quietly
I will not accept your rules
I don't believe in Bondi
Don't believe in rugby league
I will not go quietly (repeat till fade)
