Can you refer me to your manager
I must have a word
I'm a frequent consumer
The product you sold me isn't quit what I
I think I deserve
I'm not here to argue
I only mean well
Todays not a good day tmrws no better
I exhale frustration
So many answers
Welcome please make ur self at home sit down
Injoy my rejoyce and company
Soak in the sun befor it passes you
Complete me
Take me I'm all aboard I'm coming home
Set sails a way n unify
Tear out the pages and make my own
I make my own life
Wait just a min if these are my choices
Youve got to be kidding me
It simply wont do
I wont play the same games or the same songs I need options I want changes
Can't you spare me a few
It's not time to argue
No I don't need ur money
I'm just fine with out it
I've got music I'm lucky
Live hard and prosper
Is just what I plane on
And I'll ignight contemptment
Shots fire from my cannon
Welcome please make ur self at home sit down
Injoy my rejoyce and company
Soak in the sun befor it passes you
Complete me
Take me I'm all aboard I'm coming home
Set sails a way and unify
Tear out the pages and make my own
I make my own life
I make my own life
I make my own life
Take me I'm all aboard I'm coming home
Set sails a way and unify
Tear out the pages and make my own
I make my own life
Take me I'm all aboard I'm coming home
Set sails a way and unify
Tear out the pages and make my own
I make my own life
I make my own life
I make my own life
I make my own life

The singer is ready to take charge and make their own choices, set sail in their own direction, and tear out the pages of their life to create a new, better life for themselves.

Not looking for material gains, but genuine solutions
I've got music I'm lucky
Finding happiness in music and other things
Live hard and prosper
Aspiring to live boldly and succeed
Is just what I plane on
Setting a positive agenda for themselves
And I'll ignight contemptment
Sparking a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment in their own life
Shots fire from my cannon
Metaphorically expressing their inner power and strength
I make my own life
Empowering themselves to create their own destiny
