"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.

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
