[Verse 1]
Don't get in my way
You don't even know my name
Yet you swore I'd be your equal
But still your prejudice remains the same
[Verse 2]
Don't get in my way
With promises to give me help
When you don't understand me
[Chorus]
You only help yourself
But all you've got is pride
You'll never be satisified
I know you'll never be satisfied
[Verse 3]
Don't get in my way
Always talking 'bout your brand new day
But when my rent is overdue
I know you won't be breaking down my door to help me pay
[Verse 4]
Don't get in my way
Selling future fantasies
When you refuse to see my present needs
[Chorus]
Your head's held up too high
You're limited by pride
You'll never be satisfied
I know I know I know that you'll never be satisfied
[Bridge]
You promise to give the earth
I know what you're really worth
You never accomplish
What you set out to do
Your only concern is what we do for you
You captain a sinking ship
You're lost on an ego trip
From all I have heard
You've got nothing to say
My advice to you now
Is to get out of my way
[sax solo]
[Verse 5]
Don't get in my way
You represent everything that I detest
You can't justify your actions
By saying you did what you thought was best
[Verse 6]
Don't get in my way
No-one listens to you anymore
You don't understand me
[Chorus]
Whatever you stand for
Takes second place to pride
You'll never be satisfied
You'll never be satisfied
[Call and response]
Aaah!
-- Don't get in my way
It's time for you to move
-- Don't get in my way
I'm sick and tired of you
-- Don't get in my way
Get out of my way
-- Don't get in my way
You've had your day
And now it's time that you got out of my -- way (way)
If you don't move I'm gonna kick you out of my -- way (way way)
Tired of having you blocking my -- way (way way)
I can't get through if you
Just get out of my -- way hey hey
[Ad lib]
Way way way
[???] get out of my
Way (way way)
