No one's gonna jerk me around
Once I get my feet on the ground
I'm gonna hit it runnin, gonna call it a day
See, a little bit of tension goes a long, long way

The boss man has got mine in a sling
But I'll be swingin when I loosen up my strings

Every night when the sun goes down
You won't find me hangin around
I'm in loco-motion like a rock and a roll
I'm nobody's puppet, I'm out of control

The boss man has got mine in a sling

Now, when it comes to getting down

Takin up my slack

The boss man has got mine in a sling
But I'll be swingin when I loosen up my strings

Yeah, he'll have a line on me 'til my fat lady sings
But I'll be swingin while I loosen up my strings

Yeah, we'll all be swingin while I loosen up my strings
Hey, we'll all be swingin when I loosen up my strings
