all I want

 Nell'ultimo periodo mi son rimesso ad ascoltare diversi dischi punk probabilmente a causa di una ondata di nostalgia per gli spensierati anni del liceo dove letteralmente divoravo dischi del suddetto genere. In predo a questo delirio punk post-adolescenziale (abbastanza post invero) ho riscoperto i primi dischi degli Offspring che non ascoltavo da tempo immemore. Sorvolando sull'attuale e recente produzione musicale dei californiani ritengo che abbiano fatto dei lavori pregevoli. Ho quindi deciso di buttare qua il testo di "All I Want" tratta da Ixnay On The Hombre del 1997 (l'ultimo loro lavoro che incontri la mia approvazione) di cui apprezzo particolarmente il testo. Chi mi legge da un po' e avra` la pazienza di leggersi questo post non avra` problemi a capire perche`, gli altri dovranno chiedere! ;-)

Ya ya ya ya ya

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

So back off your rules
Back off your jive
Cause I'm sick of not living
To stay alive
Leave me alone
I'm not asking a lot
I just don't want to be controlled
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

How many times is it gonna take
Till someone around you hears what you say
You've tried being cool, you feel like a lie
You've played by their rules now it's their turn to try

So back off your rules
Back off your jive
Cause I'm sick of not living
To stay alive
Leave me alone
I'm not asking a lot
I just don't want to be controlled
That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want

I said it before
I'll say it again
If you could just listen
Then it might make sense

So back off your rules
Back off your jive
Cause I'm sick of not living
To stay alive
Leave me alone
I'm not asking a lot
I just don't want to be controlled
That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want

Ya ya ya ya ya



The Offspring - All I Want
