Nothin' you can do about it

Have you heard the news? I’m doing what I said I would
So now you say “Boy, I always knew you could”
My wildest dreams, murdered by reality
I gave all I could give you but now I’m talking back what belongs to me

I read you like a drugstore book
How’d I ever think you were cool
You got no bait left on your hook
You’re no friend, and buddy, I’m no fool

Ain’t nothin’ you can do about it
Ain’t nothin’ you can say
Ain’t nothing you can do about it
No one’s gonna stand in my way

I’ve done my time,
I’ve given up my pound of flesh
So why can’t the man seem to understand
That I’ve already passed the past

You did your best to keep me down
Tried to make my spirit give in
But I’m here to make a big, big sound
It’s your turn to lose and it’s my turn to win

Ain’t nothin’ you can do about it
Ain’t nothin’ you can say
Ain’t nothing you can do about it
No one’s gonna stand in my way

I know you can never come back
Once your turn and walk out that door
Got no time for worries like that
I’m not a kind anymore

You did your best to keep me down
Tried to make my soul give in
But now I’m here to make a big, big sound
It’s your turn to lose and it’s my turn to win

Ain’t nothin’ you can do about it
Ain’t nothin’ you can say
Ain’t nothing you can do about it
No one’s gonna stand in my way
