Lyrics

You better quit trying
To live my life for me
You better quit trying
Stop nagging me so constantly
You better quit trying
I just want for you to let me be
'Cause I got who I want
To show me the way, yeah
Don't need sympathy
So please go your way, yeah yeah
Go away you hypocrite (Go away)
Promises are comfort to a fool
You hypocrite (Go away)
I don't need no sympathy
You hypocrite (Go away)
Please don't you sorry for me
You hypocrite (Go away)
'Cause since I seen the light
You don't know what it's done for me
And it's such a light
Only whose good eyes to see can see
Since I seen the light
You don't know what it's done for me
And it's such a light
Only whose good eyes to see can see
You better quit trying
Give the little youth a chance
You better quit trying
They can make this place a better land
You better quit trying
I hope you elders understand
They got their own mind
They too can lead the way, yeah
They can make the garden red, gold and green
For little children to play
Go away you hypocrite (Go away)
Promises are comfort to a fool
You hypocrite (Go away)
I don't need no sympathy
You hypocrite (Go away)
And please don't you sorry for me
You hypocrite (Go away)
I'd like to tell you about
'Cause since I seen the light
You don't know what it's done for me
And it's such a light
Only whose good eyes to see can see
Since I seen the light
You don't know what it's done for me
And it's such a light
Only whose good eyes to see can see
You better quit trying
To live my life for me
You better quit trying
Stop nagging me, stop nagging me so constantly
Trying
Give the little youth a chance
You better quit trying
They can make this place a better land
You better quit trying
To live my life for me
You better quit trying
