Disobey the rules, disobey the rules
It's your life, live it your way
I'm just leading a simple life
I've got to rise up, rise up
I've got to...
They'll try to interfere with me,
While I'm minding my own business
Life just isn't fair
I've got to rise up, rise up
I've got to...
Sometimes I'll act out of line,
Or maybe even break your heart
Please forgive me
Sometimes I'll act out of line,
Or maybe even leave you behind
Please forgive me
Ooooo I'm rising up...
Ooooo I'm leading life my way...
I've got to rise up, rise up...
