I lived most of my life in New York City. Born and raised in the promised land. One day this man in black said "Listen Jack". Told me I was chosen to kiss the ring on his hand. He said "Kindly reconsider the sins of your past". And I said "Mister you can kindly kiss my ass". "Thou shalt not" - but I know what I want - "Thou shalt not". "Thou shalt not" - but I know what I need - "Thou shalt not". Well the son of a bitch must be crazy. Tellin' me I'm gonna go down. I said "this ain't the inquisition you ain't the son of God. And I sure as hell don't give a damn". He said "You're long gone can't you tell?". And I said "Mister if I'm goin' I'll see you in hell! Yeah!". "Thou shalt not" - but I know what I want - "Thou shalt not". "Thou shalt not" - but I know what I need - "Thou shalt not" - yeah. "Thou shalt not" - gotta live my life - "Thou shalt not". "Thou shalt not" - any way I please - "Thou shalt not". Don't even try you know I'd die to be free oh yeah. And you wonder why you can't bring this guy to his knees. 'Cause I know what I want yes I know what I need. Well I know what I want I know what I need. Gotta live my life just the way I please ooh yeah. 'Cause I know what I want yeaaahhhhh!. "Thou shalt not" "Thou shalt not". "Thou shalt not" "Thou shalt not". "Thou shalt not" - but I know what I want - "Thou shalt not". "Thou shalt not" - oh yes I do - "Thou shalt not". "Thou shalt not" - I'm gonna live my life - "Thou shalt not". "Thou shalt not" - any way I choose - "Thou shalt not". You got that right..
