Lyrics
Don't tell me what to do. You are not my mom. You are not my dad.
Though I seem to submit, really I resist, never to give in.
I am quiet only 'cause I don't want to cause a fuss.
But if you push me I won't hesitate to push back.
Don't tell me what to do. I am not your slave, nor am I a fool.
Think you got me whipped? That was your mistake to underestimate.
For I'm more than I reveal. Within lies a will of steel.
And if you push me I won't hesitate to push back.
Don't tell me what to do. You will risk your life, this I'm warning you.
Like a calm before the storm you are unaware of danger lying there.
For a while I'll tolerate, but cross the line you'll meet your fate.
For if you push me I won't hesitate to push back.
