"Better Off Alone" is a song for those of us that are just plain sick and tired of being pushed around by other people who think they know what's good for us. They think they know better than we do before they have walked a mile in our skin.

what you are to me
Story behind the song
Just got P.O. at school, work, government, parents literally everyone that assumes they can tell me what to do. I think we all want independence and all this authority and people trying to control people just got to me so I had to spill it in tune.
Lyrics
Everybody tells me what they want
Everybody tells me what to do
Try to tell me what to think is fun
Try to tell me what is real
Tryin hard to get by on my own
Everything I do jus turns out wrong
Everybody thinks Ia019m doing fine
But they dona019t know how I feel
No, I dona019t have much control
Nothing here to call my own
Trying hard just to get it right
And to get along
Ia019m moving on
Ia019m moving up
Ita019s time for me to take control
And I dona019t care
who you think you are
You cana019t leave well enough alone
Ia019m on the edge Ia019ve had enough
And therea019s no one left to turn to
And if you think that your right
Well I think your wrong now
And Ia019m better off alone
Everybody wants to be the boss
No one wants to listen any more
And when I need Just a lit^tle help
Well there's no one Left to hear me
Life has got to be a whole lot more
But it's left me lying on the floor
Everybody thinks Ia019m doing fine
But I dona019t know what is real
No, I dona019t have much control
Nothing here to call my own
Trying hard just to get it right
And to get along
Ia019m moving on
Ia019m moving up
Ita019s time for me to take control
And I dona019t care who you think you are
You cana019t leave well enough alone
Ia019m on the edge Ia019ve had enough
And therea019s no one left to turn to
And if you think that your right
Well I think your wrong now
And Ia019m better off alone
No one better try to kick me when I'm down
No one better try to push me around
Go ahead and try to take your best shot
But Ia019m not gonna lose tonight
Ia019m done giving in and giving what you wanted
Ia019m done living life just the way you planned
Ia019m fightin hard to get it right, And to get along
Ia019m moving on
Ia019m moving up
Ita019s time for me to take control
And I dona019t care who you think you are
You cana019t leave well enough alone
Ia019m on the edge Ia019ve had enough
And therea019s no one left to turn to
And if you think that your right
Well I think your wrong now
And Ia019m better off alone
