lyrics

It’s such a dirty habit
Always looking around
Checking the quo of the status
In Status Quo town
Keeping up with the rules
Always being laid down
Tiptoeing inside the lines
Being drawn on the ground

It’s an impossible dance
It’s out of my control
But I came here for the music
Where’s the rock and roll?

I built this city
Now I’m repaving the streets
‘Cause I am the only one walking
On these two feet
So I cut the connection
For my own protection
Who are you to question
My insurrection
In this new regime
I am the only police
I am the law and the order
And I’m keeping the peace

I’ve been a good girl
I’m not a rule breaker
I mind my own business
I’m not a risk-taker
Yeah I can roll with the flow
I’m not one to rock the boat
All the ways that I have changed
Now I’ve got a rebel in my veins

(interlude - “oh oh oh oh”)

This could get ugly
And I don’t even care
I’m calling out the lies
I’m clearing the air
It’s the subtle slipstream
Keeps us stuck in our lives
It’s the dumbed down daydream
That hypnotizes
You tricked me to trade my power
For the safety of your little box
Now I’m gonna kick you the fuck out
And I’m changing the locks

Yes I’m a good girl
But sometimes I’m a rule breaker
I’ve got my own business
I guess I’m a risk-taker
Yeah I can roll with the flow
Sometimes you gotta rock the boat
All the ways that I have changed
Now I’ve got a rebel in my veins


Oooh I don’t care what you think
Oooh Doin it anyway
Oooh I don’t care what you say
Ooooh Anyway

CHORUS
Yes I’m good girl
But I can be a ballbreaker
I take care of my own business
Cause I’m a risk-taker
Yeah I can roll with the flow
But I know when to rock the boat
All the ways that I have changed
Now I’ve got a rebel in my veins
Yeah I’m still a good girl
Even if I’m a rule-breaker
I’ve got a kick-ass business
‘Cause I’m a money maker
I make my own flow
And I’m gonna rock this boat
All the ways that I have changed
Now I’ve got a rebel in my veins

(interlude - “oh oh oh oh” / Ah Ah Ah / Ooh Ooh Ooh”)
