All I Want Lyrics
[Intro]
Okay! Ya ya ya ya ya!
[Verse 1]
Day after day (Your home life's a wreck)
The powers that be just breathe down your neck
You get no respect (You get no relief)
You gotta speak up and yell out your piece
[Pre-Chorus]
So back off your rules, back off the jive
'Cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive
Leave me alone, askin' a lot
I don't wanna be controlled
[Chorus]
That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya!
[Verse 2]
How many times (Is it gonna take)
'Til someone around you hears what you say?
You've tried bein' cool (You feel like a lie)
You've played by their rules, now it's their turn to try
[Pre-Chorus]
So back off your rules, back off your jive
'Cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive
Leave me alone, not asking a lot
Just don't want to be controlled
[Chorus]
That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want
[Bridge]
I said it before, I'll say it again
If you could just listen, then it might make sense
[Pre-Chorus]
So back off your rules, back off your jive
'Cause I'm sick of not living to stay alive
Leave me alone, not asking a lot
Just don't want to be controlled
[Chorus]
That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want
[Outro]
Ya-ya-ya-ya-ya!

What did The Offspring say about "All I Want"?
I like what “All I Want” is about. Rather than getting all bummed out about how screwed up life is… you can write a song about how people are always keeping you down and making you live by their rules, or you can say, “Leave me the fuck alone” and go do your own thing. We don’t like to get all prea...
