[Verse 1]
Wake up in the morning
Got my hair all knotted
I might as well have
Just rolled out of the garbage

[Verse 2]
Mama says *(“Oh baby” - backing vocals)*
“You should dress like a lady”
I'd rather be a misfit
And never be a puppet

[Chorus]
We're not gonna take it *(take it, take it!)*
Get your rules off of me *(off of me!)*
I'm a wild thing *(wild thing!)*
Baby, I was born to be free! *(Born to be free!)*

[Verse 3]
No time for daydreams
Get a job
Make babies
Well, that's not how I want it
I think I'm losing my mind

[Chorus]
We're not gonna take it *(take it, take it!)*
Get your rules off of me *(off of me!)*
I'm a wild thing *(wild thing!)*
Baby, I was born to be free! *(Born to be free!)*
