You wanna play it loud?

Well maybe I'm too old

I ain't in it to win, yeah

Or to do what I'm told

One piece of advice

If I could be so bold

Take off that three-piece suit

‘Cause your tie's strangling your soul

You'll never be no well-respected man

Neat hair, nice tie, if that's the plan

Guess you've forgotten who I am

Don't wanna be no well-respected man

Say I should give it up

And get a nine-to-five

But what's the point of money

If you feel barely alive?

Live a steady life

Get some security

But if you march to the boss-man's drum

Then brother, who's really free?

You'll never be no well-respected man

Neat hair, nice tie, if that's the plan

Guess you've forgotten who I am

Don't wanna be no well-respected man
