	Straight-out rock. Period. A little pissy too.
	Story Behind the Song Written as a list of things I decided I would not accept in life...so far. You know how time tends to make liars of us all. Special thanks to John Jenkins for helping me to tighten up some of the lyrics. Lyrics I don't want a wife clinging to my knee. Don't want a claustrophobic life suffocating me. I don't want forgiveness for imaginary sin. Don't want taking care of until my life wears thin. I want independence. I don't want understanding till you see through my eyes. Don't want your pity poison, I think it's all a lie. Don't want six screaming children draining me of years. Don't want your God or Jesus guilting me to tears. I want independence. Don't want your wage slave hours ripping off my time, bowing to some asshole for every fucking dime. Don't want to be accountable for someone else's name, working like a bastard while another claims the fame. I want independence. Don't wanna marry the prom queen, don't wanna mow the lawn, don't wanna join the masons, don't wanna miss the dawn. Don't want a company picnic or employee of the weak. Don't want to gain a planet filled only with the meek. Don't wanna be babied, don't wanna be mothered. Don't wanna be handled, don't wanna be smothered. I won't take your pity, I won't take your sighs. I won't take your worship. I'm sick of these lies. I want independence.
